Description
This is the fourth course in the core Physics sequence and focuses on intermediate classical mechanics including Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian frameworks, and a geometric approach to special relativity. The course includes a complementary computational physics component where students will learn and practice computational and numerical techniques to solve problems related to the concepts in these areas.
