Welcome to Phys 105, 2014!

What is this course about?

Classical mechanics is a beautifully ripe subject, albeit with hidden surprises. In this course, we will get an almost 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 a previous year’s course web site for 105 might be useful. Last but not the least, remember that You are the one!
