Classical Mechanics I
Classical Mechanics is Physics I the way that Newton envisioned. It requires a solid understanding of the math courses up through Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. The most important topic in this course is the Lagrangian.
The prerequisites for this course are: Physics II, and Multivariable Calculus
This course is a co- or prerequisite for: Differential Equations
