Aim:
The aim of the course is to give the students a basic knowledge about concepts and relations in classical mechanics. After passing the course the students shall know how to
- describe the position, velocity, acceleration of a particle in one, two, respectively in three dimensions
- apply Newton's laws, or derive by these laws conservation laws for static and dynamic problems in the field of classical mechanics
- apply Newtons mechanic on systems of particles, oscillating systems, or systems including Newton's lag gravitation
- performe measurements in mechanics
- evaluate measurements and draw conclusions writing a report

Organisation:
The content of the course is presented in the form of lectures. Important concepts are illustrated by simple class room demonstrations. Solutions of selected problems will also be presented during lessons. A number of experimental assignments are included in the course. The experimental work is preceded by a theoretical lecture.

Course contents:
Vectors applied to forces and kinematics. Newton's laws. Relative motion. Work and energy. Linear and angular momentum. Dynamics of single particles. Reduced mass. Oscillatory motion. Fluid motion and diffusion. The theory is applied to problems in physics as well as biological physics.
