In this course, conservation principles are applied to
mechanical systems, building on the foundation developed in ES201
Conservation and Accounting Principles. Basic topics include the
motion of particles and rigid bodies and the forces and moments that
cause or accompany the dynamic behavior of these systems.
A certain level of expertise in both
mathematics and conservation and accounting principles is required.
Students must have taken the prerequisite courses and be able to work
problems involving vector mechanics, integral and differential
calculus, and the conservation of linear momentum, angular momentum,
and energy applied to particles and rigid bodies.
And as Dr. Chambers once said, "There is
no blue pill."
