Course/Module description:
We will learn classical mechanics and special relativity at year 1 undergraduate level
Course/Module aims:
The course aims to teach basic terms in mechanics, provide basic tools for physical intuition, to demonstrate use of mathematical tools to solve complex realistic problems.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
On successful completion of this module,
students should be able to:
solve problems in mechanics and private relativity.
Technically use mathematical tools (complex numbers, ordinary differential equations, Taylor series etc.) to solve problems.
Use physical arguments to guess solutions and test their validity
Attendance requirements(%):
90%, war pending
Teaching arrangement and method of instruction:
flipped classroom: we'll prepare the material before class, and deepen our understandings at class using lectures, group discussion, experiments and demonstrations, and problem solving by lecture and group work.

Introduction to physics
Newton's laws
Conservation of momentum
collisions and center of mass
conservation of energy
potential energy
