Physics 211 is a calculus-based approach to classical mechanics. Classical mechanics is the study of the laws describing forces and motion. These topics are important because they form the foundation upon which most physics and engineering is built. 

By the end of this course the student will be able to:

• understand the main concepts of mechanics.
• develop the mathematical framework to explore force and motion in detail.
• be able to apply them quantitatively for solving relevant problems.
• appreciate qualitatively how they play a role in many aspects of daily life.
