PHY 351 - Classical Mechanics

Semester Hours: 4

An extensive overview of mechanics beyond the scope of Physics 151. Includes the application of mathematical tools such as series expansion, vector calculus, and differential equations to solve problems. Topics include Newton’s laws, conservation of energy and momentum, the Lagrangian method, central forces, and motion in non-inertial frames of reference.

Prerequisite: PHY 152;
When Offered: Offered Spring Semester on a three-year rotation basis.
