This course introduces classical mechanics, covering topics related to kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, gravity, momentum, angular momentum, work, energy, motion of rigid body, etc. The course will be heavily calculus based and serves as the first course for physics major. Basic calculus and vector calculus are introduced at the beginning. The goal of this course is to develop a conceptual understanding of core physics concepts, to make students familiar with the fundamental methodology of physics, and to provide a solid foundation for subsequent physics courses. 

For a student to pass the course, at least 30% of the maximum mark for the examination must be obtained
