Lectures on Classical Dynamics

This is a second course in classical mechanics, given to final year undergraduates. They were last updated in July 2012. Individual chapters and problem sheets are available below. The full set of lecture notes, weighing in at around 130 pages, can be downloaded here. This contains the following categories: Newtonian Mechanics, The Lagrangian Formulation, The Motion of Rigid Bodies, The Hamiltonian Formulation. The lecture notes can be downloaded in both PDF and PS formats
