Theoretical Classical Mechanics From Beginner to Expert

Kinematics: Position, velocity & acceleration are related by derivatives and integrals

Dynamics: Forces, potentials, work, energy and momentum allow for a phenomenological description based on Newton's laws

Circular motion: Angular velocity, acceleration, centripetal and centrifugal forces, torque and angular momentum

Theoretical physics: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches based on d'Alembert's principle and Hamilton's principle

Solving differential equations analytically

Programming & Numerical simulations: Solving differential equations in Python3

Mathematical methods: Derivatives, integrals, Taylor expansions, coordinate systems, complex numbers & matrices

Conservation laws based on Noether theorem and symmetries

Nice examples like: Spinning top, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, coupled, damped and driven oscillators, pulleys, levers, Coriolis force and many more

Basic mathematics

Recommended: What are derivatives, integrals and vectors?

This course is for everyone who wants to learn about classical mechanic: Bners to experts!A bit of college mathematics (basic derivatives, integrals & vectors) is all you need to know!Classical mechanics is the foundation of all disciplines in physics. It is typically at the very bning of the university-level physics education. But that does not mean the classical physics is always super easy or even boring. Things become extremely complicated quickly and can lead to unexpected solutions. We can describe classical mechanics on different levels. I can guarantee that you will learn a lot no matter what your current skill level is.You are kindly invited to join this carefully prepared course in which we derive the following concepts from scratch. I will present examples and have prepared quizzes and exercises for all topics.[Level 1] Bner: Kinematics (3 hours)Overview & mathematical basics (derivatives, integrals, vectors)Kinematics: Position, velocity & acceleration[Level 2] Intermediate: Dynamics (9 hours)Mathematics (Coordinate systems, multidimensional derivatives & integrals)Dynamics: Forces & related quantities (work, potentials, energy, momentum)Dynamics of the circular motion (torque, angular momentum)[Level 3] Advanced: Theoretical mechanics (3.5 hours)Lagrange’s approach (Constraints, action, Noether's theorem)Hamilton’s approach & beyond (Legendre transformation, Hamilton's equations of motion)[Level 4] Expert: Differential equations (8 hours)Advanced mathematics (Complex numbers & matrices)Differential equations: Analytical solutionNumerical solution with Python3Why me?My name is Borge Gobel  and I am a postdoc working as a scientist in theoretical physics. Therefore, I use theoretical classical mechanics very often but I have not forgotten the when I learned about it and still remember the problems that I and other students had. I have refined my advisor skills as a tutor of Bachelor, Master and PhD students in theoretical physics and have other successful courses here on Udemy.I hope you are excited and I kindly welcome you to our course!

All skill levels: From bners to experts

[Level 1] Bner: You know about derivatives and integrals and want to know how they are related to classical mechanics (kinematics)
