Course Overview
Welcome to PHYS 3334, Classical Mechanics. This course, often referred
to as your first "real" physics course, introduces you to a
sophisticated treatment of single and multi-particle motion (including
orbital motion), oscillatory motion, special relativity, as well as
the non-Newtonian Lagrange formulation of mechanics that typically
provides a dramatically simpler solution to problems than the
Newtonian one. Along the way, you will increase your mathematical
sophistication and learn techniques well suited for solving physics
problems.
