Lights off Lecture Details :
Professor Shankar introduces the course and answers student questions about the material and the requirements. He gives an overview of Newtonian mechanics and explains its two components: kinematics and dynamics. He then reviews basic concepts in calculus through two key equations: x(t) = x0 + v0t + _ at2 and v2 = v02 + 2 a (x-x0), tracing the fate of a particle in one dimension along the x-axis.
