Welcome to Phys 105, 2011!

""It was very nice to teach this class, and kudos to all of you who worked really hard! Have a nice break!""
The final exam and its solutions (and stats and rubrics) are posted.

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

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.

Checking out last year’s course web site might be of some use. Last but not the least, remember that you are the one!

 * 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. &mdash; [[Sam]], ~-''<<DateTime(2011-09-25T12:18:49-0700)>>''-~
