THE SCHOOL OF PHYSICS

Course description

​

This course can be considered an extension or continuation of classical mechanics. In this course students will encounter more advanced problems in mechanics and be introduced to other ways of thoeretically formalizing motion of a given body or system. Such forms include Lagrangian equations, Hamiltonian formalism and principle of least action. 

Theorectical mechanics takes a more developed approach to problems in classical mechanics and thus, is very applicable in engiineering. For physics majors also, theoretical mechanics seems to work perfectly up to until the atomic scale. Beyond that, classical mechanics(and theretical mechanics) becomes insufficient to describe the behavior(motion, interactions etc) of subatomic particles.
