Course Name: Classical mechanics: from newtonian to lagrangian formulation

Course abstract

This course deals with fundamentals of classical mechanics. Mechanics is one of the core subjects for physics and engineering disciplines. This course starts from basics of Newtonian mechanics. Then we introduce rigid dynamics and finally Lagrangian formulation of dynamics followed by small oscillations. We also offer tutorials to develop problem solving skills. We aim to give a basic understanding of various fields of classical mechanics to our students.

The live session was really a game changer. It was the closest interaction possible with the professor and the way he responded to our doubts was very much appreciable. These live sessions actually provided more life to the course, breaking the monotony. Great work by the professor and his team!
