Outline and Purpose of the Course This class introduces foundations of Newtonian mechanics and its
application to engineering. The motion of a particle, multi-particle systems, and rigid body are mainly introduced and related mechanics studied in specialized subjects are explained.
Course Goals The goal is to acquire a systematic knowledge of mechanics of a
particle, multi-particle systems, and rigid body to solve basic
mechanical problems.
