PHYS2210

A calculus based physics course designed to give science and engineering students a thorough understanding of mechanics. Topics include work and energy, vectors, kinematics, forces, Newton's three laws of motion, momentum, circular motion and rotations, angular momentum, Newtonian gravity. All topics are covered in one, two, and three spatial dimensions. Applications include mechanical oscillations, and wave motion. Three lectures and two recitations weekly. Those wishing to take this course as a lecture-laboratory course should register concurrently for PHYS 2215.
