Classical Mechanics Notes

Physics I: Classical Mechanics

Professor Lewin puts his life on the line in Lecture 11 by demonstrating his faith in the Conservation of Mechanical Energy.

Course Highlights

This course features lecture notes, problem sets with solutions, exams with solutions, links to related resources, and a complete set of videotaped lectures. The 35 video lectures by Professor Lewin, were recorded on the MIT campus during the Fall of 1999. Prof. Lewin is well-known at MIT and beyond for his dynamic and engaging lecture style.

Course Description

8.01 is a first-semester freshman physics class in Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory. In addition to the basic concepts of Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory, a variety of interesting topics are covered in this course: Binary Stars, Neutron Stars, Black Holes, Resonance Phenomena, Musical Instruments, Stellar Collapse, Supernovae, Astronomical observations from very high flying balloons (lecture 35), and you will be allowed a peek into the intriguing Quantum World.

OpenCourseWare also presents Professor Lewin's freshman physics course series8.02 - Electricity and Magnetism - with a complete set of 36 video lectures from the Spring of 2002 and 8.03 - Vibrations and Waves - with a complete set of 23video lectures from the Fall of 2004.

Important Notes : -

It is a collection of lectures notes not ours. Our subjective is to help students to find all engineering notes with different lectures PowerPoint slides in ppt ,pdf or html file at one place. Because we always face that we lose much time by searching in Google or yahoo like search engines to find or downloading a good lecture notes in our subject area with free. Also it is difficult to find popular authoress or books slides with free of cost. If you find any copyrighted slides or notes then please inform me immediately by comments or email as following address .I will take actions to remove it. Please click bellow to download ppt slides/ pdf notes.
