Syllabus: Newtonian mechanics applied to oscillatory motion including: simple harmonic, damped, forced and coupled systems. Propagation of mechanical waves (transverse and longitudinal), leading to reflection and transmission coefficients, normal and anomalous dispersion. Laprangian and Hamiltonian approaches to classical mechanics applied to oscillatory systems, and central forces. Rigid body mechanics, and the introduction of the inertia tensor.
