Content: A
deeper mathematical and philosophical treatment of classical
mechanics, which will also provide experience in reasoning
from fundamental principles, and familiarity with some important
mathematical techniques. Topics to be covered include vector
analysis; conservation laws; rocket motion; central forces
and planetary motion; rotations; oscillating systems; scattering
problems; variational principles; Lagrangians; and relativistic
kinematics.
Prerequisite: Physics 152 and Mathmatics
211, or consent of instructor.
