Description

This introductory dynamics course involves the analysis of non-static mechanical systems. Calculus is utilized, and the principles of differential equations are central. Solid mechanics is touched on in a corequisite manner in example problems, and mechanical physics knowledge in general is crucial. Python is used regularly for analysis and homework. Linear algebra is fairly relevant, but not a prerequisite class.
