         COURSE OBJECTIVE: ON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE COURSE STUDENTS
         WILL KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS TO
         THE DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF PHYSICAL AND ENGINEERING SYSTEMS.


         COURSE CONTENTS: A COURSE ON THE MOTION OF BODIES INDUCED BY THE
         ACTION OF FORCES. THE COURSE CONSISTS OF TWO MAIN PARTS: (A) THE
         DYNAMICS OF SINGLE PARTICLES AND SYSTEMS OF PARTICLES, AND (B) THE
         DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODY MOTIONS.

         
         HOMEWORK: PRACTICE PROBLEMS WILL BE ASSIGNED ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
         PROBLEM SOLVING EXPERIENCE IS REGARDED AS KEY TO SUCCESS IN THE COURSE.
         YOU WILL BE ASKED TO DESCRIBE YOUR APPROACH TO THE SOLUTION OF 
         HOMEWORK PROBLEMS ON A REGULAR BASIS. ANSWERS TO SELECTED PROBLEMS
         WILL BE COLLECTED AND GRADED. STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE THE
         AVAILABLE COMPUTER FACILITIES FOR THE SOLUTION OF HOMEWORK PROBLEMS
         (PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE PROGRAM CALLED  MAPLE V ).


         EXAMS: FOUR PARTIAL EXAMS AND A FINAL. THE RELATIVE WEIGHT OF THE
         VARIOUS EXAMS AND HOMEWORK TOWARDS THE FINAL GRADE WILL BE AS FOLLOWS

               EX1(17.5%) ; EX2(17.5%) ; EX3(17.5%) ; EX4(17.5%) ; 

                               HW(10%) ; FINAL(20%) ;


         STUDY GROUPS: AFTER-CLASS TUTORING GROUP SESSIONS CAN BE ARRANGED
         TO GO OVER MATERIAL NOT COVERED IN CLASS. THERE WILL BE REGULAR
