MATH 361 — Classical Mechanics -Prerequisite MATH 222
Mathematics · University of Ghana
The methods of classical mechanics have evolved into a broad theory of dynamical systems and therefore there are many applications outside of Physics; for example to biological systems. Topics to be discussed will include 1-dimensional dynamics: damped and forced oscillations. Motion in a plane: projectiles, circular motion, use of polar coordinates and intrinsic coordinates. Two-body problems, variable mass. Motion under a central, non-inertial frame. Dynamics of a system of particles.
