Lectures:

 

Lecture  1: ( Saturday  -  3 Feb 2018)

In this lecture we discuss about the meaning of experimental science, the role of physics in humankind history. Then we will discuss about the importance of the measurment. The Fundamental units and SI units. The concept of error-bars is discussed as well.

Lecture  2: ( Monday  -  5 Feb 2018)

The concept of errors (systematic and statistic) is discussed.

Lecture  3: ( Saturday  -  10 Feb 2018)

The dimensional analysis is discussed in this session. The order of magnitude physics is studied.

Lecture  4: ( Monday  -  12 Feb 2018)

The motion in 2 and 3 dimensions is discussed. Also we introduce the concept of constant speed and special relativity.

Lecture  5: ( Saturday  -  17 Feb 2018)

In this lecture we study the concept of vectors, dot product, cross product, Kronecker delta and Levi Cevita. These mathematical tools will help us study the kinematics in 2 and 3 dimensions. (Chapter 3 and 4)

Lecture  6: ( Monday  -  19 Feb 2018)

In this lecture, we study the kinematics in 2 and 3 dimensions, the sphericl coordinate is discussed and we argue that how the Coriolis force and centrifugal force is arisen from spherical coordinates. (Chapter 3 and 4)

Lecture  7: ( Saturday  -  24 Feb 2018)

Quiz # 2  -  In this lecture we study the second law of Newton and we start to solve problems in dynamics (Chapter 5)

Lecture  8: ( Monday  -  26 Feb  2018)

 

Lecture  9:  ( Saturday  -  3 March  2018)
