| 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.

Welcome to Phys 105, 2011!
Office hours are set (MW 11AM, and Tu 4PM). Each student that responded will be able to come to at least one office hour chosen, according to the poll result. Please check the new syllabus (see the link above in the blue header). Alice's hour will start Fr 3 PM, instead of 2:30 PM, due to a conflict in schedule, and I hope this will be as good as 2:30 PM. — Sam, 12:18PM, Sep 25, 2011
One problem in the homework is moving over to the next set. Read about it here.
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 the last year’s course web site.
Last but not the least, remember that you are the one!
