PHY 4220 - Classical Mechanics

Institution:

Miami Dade College

Subject:

Description:

This one-semester course will provide students with a deep understanding of some fundamental topics of classical mechanics, reinforcing the concepts learned in PHY 2048, and providing a sound foundation for their comprehension. Most of the topics of elementary mechanics will be studied in a rigorous manner, requiring a higher level of math. Content includes Newtonian particle mechanics, oscillations, noninertial reference frames, central forces, dynamics of systems, mechanics of rigid bodies, the lagrangian formulation of dynamics, and an overview of the Hamiltonian formulation. The course will emphasize problem-solving techniques and computer simulations. Prerequisites: PHY 2048, 2049, MAP 2302. (3 hour lecture)
