* The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||||
This course introduces classical mechanics, covering topics related to kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion, momentum, angular momentum, work, energy, motion of rigid body, etc. The course will be calculus based and serves as the first course for physics major. Basic calculus and vector analysis are introduced at the beginning. The goal of this course is to develop a conceptual understanding of core physics concepts, to make students familiar with the fundamental methodology of physics, and to provide a solid foundation for subsequent physics courses. | ||||||||||
