PSCI 5301 Dynamics for STEM Professionals

This course will provide students with the theoretical formulations of classical mechanics problems (at a graduate level, to help STEM professionals use physical concepts with adequate mathematical sophistication to address practical implementation problems) which are essential in understanding foundational concepts in modern physics, such as quantum mechanics, astrophysics, particle physics, and relativity. Students will be introduced to D'Alembert's principle, variational principles, and Langrangian and Hamiltonian in analyzing the dynamics of systems.
