Introduction to Dynamics

Welcome to Dynamics!

Dynamics is a branch of Mechanics that studies the motion of objects under the influence of forces. It is fundamental to engineering, bridging theoretical principles from physics with practical applications to predict the motion of systems such as rockets, cars, and robots.

My Expertise

I specialize in teaching Mechanics, focusing on both theoretical and computational aspects of:

  • Newtonian Mechanics: Principles governing motion and forces.
  • Lagrangian Mechanics: Energy-based methods for dynamic systems.
  • Hamiltonian Mechanics: Advanced formulations that extend dynamics to optimal control.

My goal is to ensure students develop both a solid theoretical foundation and effective problem-solving skills.

Teaching

My teaching focuses on clarity and engagement, helping students navigate complex topics with confidence. Key features include:

  • Bite-Sized Video Lectures: Pre-class videos introducing core concepts and examples.
  • Interactive Lectures: Expanding on pre-class material with deeper theoretical insights.
  • Emphasizing Mathematical Formalism: Leveraging formal methods to overcome the limitations of intuition-based problem solving.
