CLASSICAL MECHANICS

Code: MATH228

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 2

This module is concerned with the motion of physical bodies both in everyday situations and in the solar system. To describe motion, acceleration and forces you will need background knowledge of calculus, differentiation, integration and partial derivatives from MATH1113 (Core Maths I) and MATH112 (Core Maths II). Classical mechanics is important for learning about modern developments such as relativity (MATH326) and quantum mechanics (MATH325). This module will make you familiar with notions such as energy, force, momentum and angular momentum which lie at the foundations of applied mathematics problems.
