This one semester course will provide students with an in-depth study of the fundamental laws of Mechanics and with an introduction to Thermodynamics. The course is designed for first year students who are assumed to have little or no background knowledge in Physics. It is assumed however that the students have some fundamental knowledge of Mathematics: algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. The basic and practical aspects of Mechanics will be introduced with an emphasis on the energy balance of a mechanical process. The final part of the course deals with systems of particles and solid bodies by studying their collective motion, through the fundamental laws involving momentum and angular momentum, and their internal Energy and related transformations through an introduction to the fundamental laws of Thermodynamics.
