Classical Mechanics - PHY2601

Under Graduate Degree Year module NQF level: 6 Credits: 12
Module presented in English Module presented online
Pre-requisite: PHY1505, MAT1503 & MAT1512
Purpose: This module will be useful to students interested in developing the basic skills in solving common types of classical mechanics problems. To present the modern treatment of classical mechanical systems in such a way that the transition to quantum theory of Physics can be made with the least possible difficulty. To acquaint the student with new mathematical techniques wherever possible and to give him/her sufficient practice in solving problems so that the student may become reasonably proficient in their use. After a firm foundation in vector methods, student could develop further mathematical methods to solve the physics problems.
