Course description
Mechanics is a basis of physics, which in turn is a basis of engineering.
In this lecture, we focus on a dynamics of a particle (a mass point) to study the foundations of mechanics.
Different from a high-school study on this subject, we use mathematical tools such as calculus and vectors.
This makes students to get used to these tools for the applications not only to mechanics but also to any field.
Purpose of class
Understand the principles of mechanics, especially the motion of equation, by focusing a particle dynamics.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand the fundamental concepts, principles and laws of mechanics to apply them for specific problems.
  2. To see things from physics point of view.
  3. To set and solve a motion of equation.
Language
Japanese
