Mechanics ReView - Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Mechanics ReView is a second look at introductory Newtonian Mechanics. It will give you a unified overview of mechanics that will dramatically increase your problem-solving ability. It is open to all students who meet the prerequisites (see right), but is especially designed for teachers and students who want to improve their existing understanding of mechanics.

Newtonian mechanics is the study of how forces change the motion of objects. This course begins with force, and moves on to straight-line motion, momentum, mechanical energy, rotational motion, angular momentum, and harmonic oscillators. Optional units include planetary orbits and a unit whose problems require multiple concepts to be applied to obtain one solution.

• Newtonian Mechanics beyond a first-year introductory course
• Angular momentum, planetary orbits, and harmonic motion
• A unified overview of the structure of Mechanics
• How and when to apply conservation laws
• Expert strategies to solve multi-concept problems
• To make measurements and do analyses of virtual experiments
