Description
This course is a more in-depth treatment of classical physics than the one covered in PHYS 221. Topics covered include Newton's laws for a single particle and rigid bodies, momentum and angular momentum, energy, oscillations, Euler's equation, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, central forces and orbitis, and non-inertial reference frames. Prerequisite: PHYS 227 and MATH 246. Corequisite: MATH 251 (MATH 251 is strongly recommended to be completed before taking this course).
