Lecture Notes

• Chapter 1: Newton's laws slightly revised version (18.02.2013)
• Chapter 2: Lagrange's equations revised version (11.03.2013)
• Chapter 3: Potential Wells and Oscillations
  • We do not cover section 3.5 (on wave motion) - it's there for interest
• Chapter 4: Hamiltonian mechanics revised version (29.04.13)
  • We only cover sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (in new version).

Extra: The notes are also available here as a single file, with hyperlinks and index. Ther is also a chapter 5 on rotating frames (including coriolis effect), which is not examined this year and is included just for interest.

Problem sheets

The set of problems appear at the end of each chapter of the notes. Here they are as separate sheets (the file with 2-up in the name is a version printing 2 pages on one).

• Sheet 1 (this is the first and the longest of the 5 sheets). (And the 2-up version.)
  • solutions (university name and password required)
• Sheet 2 (And the 2-up version.)
  • solutions (university name and password required)
  new version with soln to prob 2.10 (17/05/13)
• Sheet 3 (And the 2-up version.)
