What you'll learn
The conceptual foundations of classical mechancis.
Aspects of classical physics without falling into oversimplifications and yet conceived for an audience of non-physicists.
A course that fills the gap between a too simplistic version of classical mechanics and too high level university courses.
An overview of classical mechanics, from Galileo's and Newton's first laws of motion to modern chaos theories.
Requirements
Not needed: College math (e.g. no calculus, linear algebra.)
Needed: High school math (scalar, vector notation, vector addition, square root, powers, 10^+-7, notion of a function, derivatives expression (only conceptually), quadratic equation, sine/cosine function in radians and/or degrees, scalar and cross product, find the common denominator (1/2 + 1/5 = 7/10), units: m, cm, km, kg, g, mg, µg,... Unit prefixes: Mega, giga, tera, milli, micro; average , weighted average, make simple algebraic calculations, know cross-multiplication rule, simple geometry such as the radius, the circumference of a circle, area, etc.)
Description
Note: Take a look at the free lectures! Scroll down to the curriculum and click on 'Basics I'. The 'preview' lectures are free. That might help you to get a better feeling of what's about.Why this course? Classical mechanics is the bedrock of all physics. One can't understand almost any chapter of physics without the foundations of classical mechanics. However, most textbooks introduce it starting from a higher-level calculus rigor over hundreds of pages, while in the popular media, it is mostly skipped entirely. This course takes a middle way with an intermediate-level and compact approach. It furnishes the basics in a conceptually rigorous way by keeping the math limited and without going too much into the details. It could be an ideal first-impact training, preparing you for the next level of a full-fledged university course.What is it about? A course on the conceptual foundations of classical mechanics starting from the first notions introduced by Galileo, Newton, and Descartes until modern non-linear deterministic chaos theory. It starts with an introduction to the birth of classical mechanics, which is one of the most essential events determining the birth of modern science. The following topics are discussed: The first laws of motion, the concept of work and energy, power and conservation laws, the collision process and the notion of the center of mass, the inclined plane, the physics of rotational motion (angular velocity, angular acceleration and angular momentum, centripetal and centrifugal forces, torque, the moment of inertia, rotational kinetic energies, etc.), the harmonic oscillator and the simple pendulum, a short intro to waves, Newton's universal law of gravitation, and some conclusive lectures about non-linear dynamics, with a philosophical appendix on the notion of determinism and chaos.Who is it for? It is directed at all those students who struggle in making the transition from the middle- and high-school intuitive approach in physical sciences, to the more formal and conceptual rigor of a professional development course. It is neither the former nor the latter, but something that tries to build the bridge in between. A course that could facilitate entrance into undergraduate and graduate studies not only in physics but also for engineers, biologists, chemists, or all those applying to faculties that require mandatory physics tests. Others who could profit from this first introduction to classical mechanics are philosophers or autodidacts who are interested in the philosophy of science but had no formal instruction in this domain and would like to give their technical basis a firm foundation. This course could also be a good introduction for those who intend to subscribe to my other Udemy course on quantum physics, entitled "Quantum physics: an overview of a weird world."Who is it not for? If you are looking for a full-fledged course covering all the topics with a rigorous approach and a mathematical deep dive into classical and analytical mechanics preparing you for a college examination, this course is not sufficient. As stated above, it is an intermediate-level approach that furnishes a general overview of the subject but does not go far enough for professional training.
