Physics/Engineering 361: Analytical Mechanics
Fall 2010

Our textbook will be Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems , 5th Edition by Stephen T. Thornton and Jerry B. Marion, ISBN 0-534-40896-6.

You should also acquire a copy of the accompanying Student Solution Manual, ISBN 0-534-40897-4. I will recommend specific problems to study which are worked out in the manual.

We will also be using Maple from time-to-time throughout the course.

Start out ahead of schedule by reading Sections 2.1-2.4 before the first day of class!
