'''What is this course about?'''

Classical mechanics is a beautifully ripe subject, albeit with hidden surprises. In this course, we will get a complete overview of classical mechanics. We will learn Newtonian and Lagrangian views of classical mechanics. We will cover some basic topics such as linear systems and the central force problem, and also not so basic topics such as non-linear dynamics (chaos), and many particle systems (field theory). If time allows (very unlikely), we may cover the special theory of relativity as well.

This web site will become fuller as the course proceeds. In the mean time, you might want to check out <<ln(http://griffin.ucsc.edu/teaching/10Q4-105.html,the last year's course web site)>>.

Here is <<la(00-Syllabus.pdf,the syllabus for this year)>>. It will get updated soon with office hours.

Note that there are three important links above ("Lectures+", "Homework+" and "Forum") -- at this time, only Homework+ is functional (HW01 is there),but other links will become operational soon.

Remember that you are ''the one!''
Checking out <<ln(http://griffin.ucsc.edu/teaching/10Q4-105.html,last year's course web site)>> might be of some use. Last but not the least, remember that '''<<fl(y)>>ou''' are ''the one!''

Welcome to Phys 105, 2011!

Archived news items can be found here. Some are worth checking again (like office hour info!).
