Most of the phenomena in the world around you are, at the fundamental level, based on physics, and much of physics is based on mechanics. Mechanics begins by quantifying motion, and then explaining it in terms of forces, energy and momentum. This allows us to analyse the operation of many familiar phenomena around us, but also the mechanics of planets, stars and galaxies.

Truly amazing for the students aspiring in the field of science and in the real-life application. And also for those who want to revise the concepts of physics.
The course is very useful and is presented in a pleasant way so that we can understand the subject matter clearly and use them in solving real world problems.
This course is really great for aspiring physicists and engineers. This made me more interested in this this field and helped me in visualizing the inner workings of the universe.
The problems were challenging but it is doable with a lot of patience and hard work. You can do it guys!
