Description:

A complete set of lecture notes for a one-semester, graduate-level dynamics course. Topics include vector and tensor kinematic principles; point mass kinematics; Newton's principles for a point mass; rigid body attitude and kinematics; rigid body dynamics; constant mass continuous systems; analytical kinematics; analytical dynamics; and dynamic modeling of continuous systems. The notes are presented in a novel and unique 1-page, 1-topic format. Many key principles are developed in a new and rigorous way, and careful attention is paid to establish a consistent and unambiguous notation.
