Where PHYS-3202 counts
Required by 5 programs:
Counts toward 2 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course is a three dimensional vector treatment of Newtonian particle dynamics with an emphasis on conservation principles. Topics include advanced problems in dynamics, such as friction, gravity, rotation of rigid bodies and moments of inertia, and damped and forced oscillations.
Requisite courses
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
