PHYS 200 - Fundamentals of Physics I
Lecture 06 - Law of Conservation of Energy in Higher Dimensions. The discussion on the Law of Conservation of Energy continues but is applied in higher dimensions. The notion of a function with two variables is reviewed. Conservative forces are explained and students are taught how to recognize and manufacture them. (from oyc.yale.edu)
