Class Objectives
/Class Outline Understanding Classical Mechanics on a system of many particles and a rigid body in 2D and 3D space.

Class Schedule lesson1: Review of Classical Mechanics A
lesson2: conservation of momentum and angular momentum for a system of particles, center of mass, coupled oscillators
lesson3: scattering of two particles (Lab frame, CM frame), reduced mass
lesson4: impact parameter, solid angle, Rutherford scattering, cross section
lesson5: rotating frame, Coriolis force, Foucault pendulum
lesson6: rigid body I : rotations around a fixed axis
lesson7: rigid body II : moment of inertia, principal moment of inertia
lesson8: midterm exam.
lesson9: rigid body III : some examples, impulse
lesson10: rigid body IV : Euler's equations of motion for a rigid body, torque-free precession
lesson11: rigid body V : Euler angle, torque-free motion of a symmetric body
lesson12: rigid body VI : motion of a symmetrical top
lesson13: exponential of a square matrix, rotation matrix, conservative force in 3D
lesson14: hyperbolic functions, Lorentz transformation
lesson15: final exam.

Text/Reference
