Upon completion of the course the student should have the ability to:

• explain elementary functions and their properties
• explain vectors and common vector operations
• explain central concepts within mechanics.

• solve equations and algebra expressions containing elementary functions
• use vectors and vector calculations to solve geometrical problems in two and three dimensions
• use free body diagrams and express mechanical equilibrium for a system
• solve rigid-body calculations
• discuss mechanical problems and solutions.

• reflect on and choose appropriate strategies for solutions
• judge if a solution is within reason.

Mathematics:
- derivatives and integrals
- differential equations
- trigonometric functions
- vectors


Mechanics:
