Objectives
This course is a calculus-based introduction to Newtonian mechanics with the aim to introduce the analysis of the motion of the mechanical systems with finite number of degrees of freedom. Starting from few basic principles and applying the deductive reasoning, the general evolution laws are derived in terms of second order differential equations.
Prerequisites
Linear algebra and analytic geometry. Differential and integral calculus.
Contents
Quick review of vector space theory. Tensorial calculus: an outline. Dynamical systems. Cinematics. Relative motions. Mass geometry. Newton and Euler mechanics.
Teaching Methods
The course consists both of lectures and exercise sessions.
Verification of learning
Written and oral exam.
