MEM 668 Advanced Dynamics III 3.0 Credits

Covers central forces, effect of the earth's rotation, Foucault's pendulum, variational methods, Hamilton's principle, state space techniques for the integration of equations of motion, and numerical integration of equations of motion on microcomputers through the CSMP program. Depending on student interest, includes either Hamiltonian dynamics (canonical equations, contact transformations, Hamilton-Jacobi theory) or rigid body kinematics of complex dynamical systems.
