Topic to be covered:
We will cover some chapters in the text book and do exercises in the reference and other sources. The final goal is to know how to find a mathematical model of a mechanical problem and solve it.
Problem sets: (40% of overall grade)
Midterm: (30% of overall grade) oral and written tests
Final term: (30% of overall grade) written test.
Grading: Grade on a curve
