PHY 2010 Mechanics

This course presents a rigorous treatment of classical mechanics at a level beyond the general physics survey. Topics include: Newtonian mechanics, oscillations and resonance, conservative forces and potential energy, central forces, non-inertial frames of references, rigid body motion; an introduction to Lagrange's formulation of mechanics, coupled oscillators, normal modes, special relativity, and relativistic kinematics.
