Welcome to Phys 105, 2014!
Many thanks and kudos to all of you, who have shown dedication to learning in this course! It was a fun course to teach. I wish that you had a chance to appreciate something important while you endeavored in this course. I know that this definitely was true for many students. This course is now officially over. However, when the new quarter starts, you can visit my office to pick up your work (last homework, quiz, and exam) and discuss any issues or concerns that you might have. Have a happy holiday break!—2:08AM, Dec 29, 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.
