Purpose of class
Understand the principles of mechanics, especially the motion of equation, by focusing a particle dynamics.
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.
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.

Evaluation method and criteria
In principle, evaluation will be based on in-class quizzes and confirmation tests (65%) and reports (35%).
The quiz and The report consists of questions based on the textbook and lecture materials and their applications.
Students will pass the class with 60% of the scores from the test and report.
In addition, this lecture is linked to the “Study Support Room” and in some cases, study in the “Study Support Room” may be required in order to receive credit.
