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.

Course Description :

Course Introduction and Newtonian Mechanics, Vectors in Multiple Dimensions, Newton's Laws of Motion, Work-Energy Theorem and Law of Conservation of Energy, Kepler's Laws, Law of Conservation of Momentum, Rotations, Torque, Introduction to Relativity, Lorentz Transformation, Four-Vector in Relativity, Simple Harmonic Motion, First, Second Law of Thermodynamics and Carnot's Engine, The Boltzmann Constant, entropy etc...
