Undergraduate Catalog

PHYS 412 Advanced Mechanics

This is a continuation of PHYS311 Intermediate Mechanics, focusing on Newtonian, Hamiltonian, and Lagrangian formalisms of mechanics to explore advanced topics in mechanics and dynamics of particles and systems. Emphasis will be placed on nonlinear phenomena and chaos, coupled mechanical systems and their applications to real systems, wave mechanics, and special relativity and spacetime.
