PHYS2027 Mechanics (3 units)
- Prerequisite:
- PHYS2005 Heat and Motion or consent of instructor
This course deals with the basic theory of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, coupled oscillations, and central force motion. It extends the basic discussions on mechanical motion in the lower level course, Heat and Motion, to a more general mathematical and theoretical framework, and provides a broader foundation for understanding and employing classical mechanics in physical science and energy science applications
