PHYS 4410 - Advanced Mechanics

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Physics

Description:

This is an advanced undergraduate course in analytical mechanics with tensors and fluids. It will build on material mastered in previous core courses (e.g., PHYS 3010 - Intermediate Mechanics with Relativity). The course will go deeper into collisions, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, motion in non-inertial reference frames, oscillations, rotations of rigid bodies, and fluid dynamics. Should time allow, nonlinear mechanics, chaos, and continuum mechanics may be introduced as well. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in (PHYS 3010) AND (MATH 2250 OR (MATH 2270 AND MATH 2280)) AND (MATH 1260 OR MATH 1321 OR MATH 2210 OR MATH 3140) Corequisites: MATH 3140 OR MATH 3150 OR MATH 5440
