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 are 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."
