In this course, we will discuss the mathematical structure of Classical Physics. We will discuss Classical Mechanics, both in the Newtonian formulation, as well as the equivalent Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations. We will also cover topics in electromagnetism, and Special Relativity. We will not cover Quantum Physics, which is the subject of the follow-up course 562, but the topics covered here form the basis on which Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory are built.
The aim of this course is to develop an understanding of these topics in a mathematically rigorous way.
