(i) The Legendre transformation of a function is a mathematical operation that transforms a function from one set of variables to another. For example, in classical mechanics, the Legendre transformation is used to move from the Lagrangian formulation to the Hamiltonian formulation. The Lagrangian \( L(q, \dot{q}, t) \) depends on the generalized coordinates \( q \) and generalized velocities \( \dot{q} \), while the Hamiltonian \( H(q, p, t) \) depends on the generalized coordinates \( q \) and generalized momenta \( p \).
