Outline and Purpose of the Course Newtonian mechanics and its application to engineering are interpreted with concentration on single particle, multi-partical system and rigid body. Especially,some mathematical approaches necessary for mechanics are introduced based on those mathematical knowledge learned in the first academic year. Meanwhile, the relationship between mechanical interpretation and mathematical treatment of some classical problems are specifically emphasized. Study of this lecture would not only make the students grasp basic principles of mechanics but also think more logically and systematically.
Course Goals As an intermediate course in mechanics at undergraduate level, this course aims at training students to think about mechanical phenomena in mathematical terms, developing an intuition for the precise mathematical formulation of mechanical problems and for the mechanical interpretation of the mathematical solutions.
