5 Purpose Mission: Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism A core part of the USPAS program. We have the equivalent of one semester to cover a topic that could easily be three or four semesters. Strategy: Focus on the subset of Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism most relevant to Accelerators. This course can serve as general preparation for more advanced USPAS courses that are offered regularly. Cost: Constant tension between breadth and depth. 5 11/23/2024 Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism | June 2018 USPAS at MSU
