This is a “minimalist” textbook for a first semester of
university, calculus-based physics, covering classical mechanics, plus a
brief introduction to thermodynamics. Topics covered includes: Acceleration,
Momentum and Inertia, Kinetic Energy, Interactions and energy, Interactions,
Forces, Impulse, Work and Power, Motion in two dimensions, Rotational
dynamics, Gravity, Simple harmonic motion, Waves in one dimension,
Thermodynamics.
This note is about the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics. Topics covered includes Newtonian mechanics, Lagrangian mechanics, Small oscillations, Rigid body dynamics, Hamiltonian mechanics and LeviCivita alternating symbol.
This book is designed for students with
some previous acquaintance with the elementary concepts of mechanics, but
the book starts from first principles, and little detailed knowledge is
assumed. An essential prerequisite is a reasonable familiarity with
differential and integral calculus, including partial differentiation.
This note covers the following topics Motion in 1 dimension, Motion in 3 dimension, Newtons laws of motion, Conservation of energy, Circular motion, Rotational motion, Angular momentum, Statics, Oscillatory motion and Orbital motion.
