PRIMARY MATHEMATICS

CLASSICAL MECHANICS

  • Static mechanics (forces, tension); hydrostatics. Newton's Laws.
  • The elliptical orbits of planets. The many-body system.
  • The action principle. Hamilton's equations. The Lagrangean. (Don't skip - extremely important!)
  • The harmonic oscillator. The pendulum.
  • Poisson's brackets.
  • Wave equations. Liquids and gases. The Navier-Stokes equations. Viscosity and friction
  • An intermediate level course on Analytical Classical Dynamics by R. Fitzpatrick, Univ. of Texas, Austin.
  • A good set of Lecture notes from Harvard.
  • A short course on Classical Mechanics by Prof. J. J. Binney

STATISTICAL MECHANICS & THERMODYNAMICS

  • The first, second and third laws of thermodynamics.
  • The Boltzmann distribution.
  • The Carnot cycle. Entropy. Heat engines.
  • Phase transitions. Thermodynamical models.
  • The Ising Model (postpone techniques to solve the 2-dimensional Ising Model to later).
  • Planck's radiation law (as a prelude to Quantum Mechanics)

ELECTRONICS

  • Ohm's law, capacitors, inductors, using complex numbers to calculate their effects.
  • Transistors, diodes (how these actually work comes later).

ELECTROMAGNETISM

  • Maxwell's Theory for electromagnetism: homogeneous and inhomogeneous
  • Maxwell's laws in a medium. Boundaries.
  • W.J.Spence, Electromagnetism

COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS

  • Mathematica for Students of Science by James Kelly
  • Angus MacKinnon, Computational Physics
  • Prof. Mathews' projects on Numerical Analysis
