Classical Mechanics with Labs

Undergraduate

Vector calculus is employed in Newtonian mechanics. Attractive for students wishing to experience the power of mathematics as a tool in describing easily-visualizable phenomena. Problems such as oscillations, motion under a central force, the two-body problem and motion in a rotating coordinate system are analyzed. (3h lab). Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1023 or equivalent, and MATH 2723 or MATH 2023. Prerequisite/Corequisite(s): MATH 2753 or MATH 2013. Antirequisite(s): Credit can be obtained for only one of PHYS 2113 or PHYS 2123.
