Applied Mathematics - Dynamics
A selection of audio and video podcasts from a first year class in dynamics introducing a wide range of topics from Newton's laws of motion to orbital mechanics. These resources can be used to supplement teaching materials in undergraduate level mathematics or applied mathematics courses.
These resources are a selection of audio and video podcasts from a first year Dynamics class (MAM1044H) at the University of Cape Town.
The lectures cover a wide range of topics:
Systematic introduction to the elements of mechanics; kinematics in three dimensions. Newton's laws of motion, models of forces (friction, elastic springs, fluid resistance). Conservation of energy and momentum. Simple systems of particles, including brief introduction to rigid systems. Orbital Mechanics with applications to the planning of space missions to the outer planets.
