Scope
This course continues the development of concepts introduced in PH201. Direct applications of Newton's Laws are used to analyze such phenomena as motion under the influence of central forces, motion in non-inertial frames of reference, and motion of rigid bodies. The elegant formalisms of Lagrange and Hamilton are studied to provide a foundation for connecting classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics.
