This course follows the first term applied mathematics course and gives a comprehensive introduction to Newtonian mechanics. The essential concepts of force, torque, momentum, angular momentum and energy are introduced. This is followed by a thorough coverage of the Newtonian dynamics of point particles, including the classic problem of a central force with the inverse square law. Vector methods, including vector differential equations, are used extensively.
