Intermediate Mechanics II, provided by Stanford University's Pre-Collegiate University-Level Online Math & Physics, offers an advanced understanding of the mechanics of particles and systems, similar to an upper-division university mechanics course. The curriculum delves into key topics such as rigid body dynamics, oscillating systems, Hamilton's principle for continuous systems, waves, the general wave equation, and fluid dynamics. The course is delivered online, with no lab components, making it accessible to students wherever they are. The instructor for this course is Professor Peter Michelson, whose curriculum has been directly incorporated into the course design. Unfortunately, specific information about the course duration, schedule, or Professor Michelson's background and qualifications is not provided. Eligibility for this course requires completion of Intermediate Mechanics I, ensuring that students have a solid foundation in the subject before undertaking this advanced study. Upon completion of this course, students will have a refined understanding of the mechanics of particles and systems, equipping them with skills that are vital in the field of physics. Please note that the required text for this course is "Classical Dynamics; Of Particles and Systems" by S. Thornton and J. Marion, 4th edition or later.
