Analytical Classical Dynamics: An intermediate level course
A complete set of lecture notes for an upper-division classical dynamics course. The course concentrates on
those aspects of classical dynamics which can be studied analytically. Topics covered include
oscillations, Keplerian orbits, two-body scattering, rotating frames of reference, rotation
of rigid bodies in three dimensions, Lagrangian mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics, and coupled oscillations.
The lecture notes are availible in three formats:
- [HTML]
- A fully hyperlinked HTML document.
- [PDF]
- A fully indexed and hyperlinked PDF file with embedded Type 1 fonts.
- [BOOK]
- A professionally-bound print-on-demand book.
