In this class, we give students an introduction to physics in a way that you can prepare for studying classical mechanics,
and classical electrodynamics, and thermal physics. For selected issues in an elementary physics course, students learn basic
concepts of physics as well as a mathematical skills. Both are very important for all the students in modern engineering.
This class consists of a lecture and a practice on problems. Students must learn by themselves through the problems how the
real world and its phenomena are modeled, solved, and interpreted by physics.
Students first learn how the physics are written by mathematics, particularly by calculus. Then, students must solve equations
of motion for a fall motion by gravity and an oscillation motion. Of course, they must explain the motion by the solution
of the equation. After the mechanics part, students learn a law of Coulomb, a Gauss law of electric field, an electric potential,
and a direct-current circuit. For example, a space integration of Coulomb force yields a real electric force maintained by
distributed charges. This integration is skipped by an arithmetic multiplication. An electric potential is obtained by a line
integration of the electric field, by which a capacity of an condenser are calculated. Students must understand these concepts
and perform calculations. Finally, students must explain a relationship between the transient phenomena in the direct-current
circuit and the results of the mechanics part, a fall motion by gravity and a oscillation motion.
- One can express physics by differentiations and integrations
- One can solve equations of motion on a fall by gravity and a oscillation motion
- One can obtain an electric field and an electric potential maintained by distributed charges
- One can solve a problem of transient phenomena and explain them in connection to the objective 2 above

Report every week: 100 points
A report point exceed 60 points
If you understand what is written in a textbook and if you can solve questions in a textbook,
you probably can get 60 points in a final score.
