What Brock calendar entry says:

• Introduction to mechanics. Topics include kinematics(description of motion), statics (forces in balancd) and dynamics (causes of motion) in one and two dimensions; rotational motion; work and energy; momentum; and conservation laws

What do I need to bring into the course?

• Course is designed for students without high school physics. Time will be taken to develop related mathematical skills.

Course Goals

• to develop math skills necessary for success in physics;
• to develop a mental framework for analyzing motion ;
• to gain experience in problem solving;
