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.
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.
