Classical Mechanics
8.01SC · Physics · Undergraduate · Fall 2016
Prof. Deepto Chakrabarty, Dr. Peter Dourmashkin, Dr. Michelle Tomasik, Prof. Anna Frebel, Prof. Vladan Vuletic
<p>This first course in the physics curriculum introduces classical mechanics. Historically, a set of core concepts—space, time, mass, force, momentum, torque, and angular momentum—were introduced in classical mechanics in order to solve the most famous physics problem, the motion of the planets.</p> <p>The principles of mechanics successfully described many other phenomena encountered in the world. Conservation laws involving energy, momentum and angular momentum provided a second parallel app…
