Advanced course in undergraduate classical mechanics covering Newtonian dynamics and analytic methods. Topics include: conservation laws, oscillatory phenomena including damping and resonance, central force problems and planetary orbits, rigid body mechanics, an introduction to the calculus of variation and the principle of least action, generalized coordinates, with Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics.
