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 principle of least action, and then Hamiltonian mechanics. In the last half, students will learn application of analytical mechanics to quantum mechanics and to statistical mechanics.
Classcode: inub2co
Expected Learning
1. Students will be able to apply analytical mechanics to various problems in classical mechanics.
2. Students will be able to understand quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics based on analytical mechanics..

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