Course description
Analytical mechanics is a generalized form of classical mechanics. As a subject in the curriculum of applied physics, in the first half of this course, students will learn Lagrangian mechanics, starting from calculus of variations. In the last half, students will learn dynamical system especially focused on oscillations in non-equilibrium systems.
Expected Learning
1. Students will be able to apply analytical mechanics to various problems in classical mechanics.
2. Students will be able to understand the fundamental concept of dynamical system.

Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps.
