About

This class will go through some of the first few topics in an introductory course in mechanics, notably:
Kinematics
Laws of Motion and F=ma
Center of Mass, Momentum, and Impulse
Work and Energy
Oscillations in Springs

This course will be more in depth and more math heavy compared to a normal mechanics course. There will be homework problems sourced from MIT OCW 8.01x and K&K. 

Basic Calculus (differentiating and integrating) is essential for this course.
