| Course Description | |
|---|---|
| An introduction to the conservation laws, forces, and interactions that govern the dynamics of particles and systems. The course shows how a small set of fundamental principles and interactions allow us to model a wide variety of physical situations, using both classical and modern concepts. A prime goal of the course is to have the parcticipants learn to actively connect the concepts with the modeling process. Three hours of laboratory work per week. | |
