		+	The prerequisites for this course include rigid-body mechanics and mathematics as a junior level. There will be an extensive use of methods from linear algebra, calculus, differential equations, etc. These topics will be reviewed and covered in class, but previous exposure to these topics is helpful. VM240 and VM360 are preferred prerequisites, not mandatory.
