Complicated functions appearing in physics are frequently simplified by a symmetrical parabolic approximation for obtaining useful results. The symmetrical parabolic approximation is employed in many different problems in a first year college physics course. Some examples of this approximation are explored in this article. With the aid of Hamilton’s equations it is shown that the classical formula for the kinetic energy of a particle is a symmetrical parabolic approximation for the more general relativistic formula.
