No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1963–64 to 1969–70; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Foundations of Newtonian mechanics. Dynamics of a particle; harmonic oscillator; central force motion; conservative force; potential energy. Dynamics of a system of particles; conservation laws; translation and fixed-axis rotation of a rigid body. Moving frames of reference. Lagrange’s equations. 3 lectures.
As printed in the 1964–65 to 1969–70 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
