PHY316

Classical Mechanics II

Course DirectorySNHU PHY316 has 1 direct prerequisite, with 11 courses in its complete prerequisite tree.

Undergraduate · 3 credits

This course is a continuation of PHY315, with a more advanced treatment of the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. Topics include normal modes, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, and special relativity. Students use these advanced techniques and the mathematics involved to solve problems in mechanics.
