PHYSICS 361:	Analytical Mechanics I 	
Benson	MWF	11:45-12:35	MAX: 6	WRT: No

For B.A. physics and other mathematical science majors (B.S. physics
majors should take Physics 361S).  More complete mathematical
treatment of classical mechanics, focusing on Newton's second law as a
differential equation; dynamics in three dimensional space; mechanics
as a variational principle.  Includes damped/driven oscillators,
conservative force fields, coordinate systems, Lagrangians, symmetries
and conservation laws, central forces and planetary motion, rigid
bodies and rotations.

Prerequisites: Physics 151 (or 141 with Math 112) and Math 211 or
Physics 220, or consent of instructor.



PHYSICS 361S:	Analytical Mechanics I	
Benson	MWF	11:45:12:35	MAX: 10	WRT: No

Required for Physics B.S. majors.  Lectures joint with Physics 361,
but 361S students expected to show more proficiency at quantitative
problems.

Prerequisites: Physics 151 and Math 211, or consent of
instructor. Math 212 and 221 encouraged.
