PHYS 3210: Mechanics I

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: MATH 2203, MATH 2306, and PHYS 3260
This course is a survey of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian Mechanics as well as mechanics of central force systems and oscillations. Students will learn how to apply Newtonian mechanics to dynamics of particles and systems of particles, and calculus of variations using Lagrange and Hamilton equations.
