Course objectives
Mechanics is the introductory discipline of most university courses of general physics. Such its role is determined by its illustrativity and accessibility to human sensuous perceiving. The discipline is devoted to students of physics and physics teaching. The two main goals are followed:

* To present to students the problems and methods of classical mechanics on the university course level, including the adequate calculus of mathematical analysis and algebra.

* By the practical teaching of such illustrative and accessible discipline, including the demonstration experiments, to introduce students into procedures and methods of physics, which form the physical thinking of future specialists, scientists and teachers.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course the student obtains the following abilities and skills:

* Basic knowledge of the system of physics as a discipline.
* Ability to identify fundamental elements of a physical discipline: introductory experiment, principles of the physical discipline(axioms), derived assertions (physical laws), verification experiment.
* The role of mathematics in a physical discipline.
* Ability to apply mathematical tools to problems of physics.
* Ability to obtain derived assertions (physical laws) from principles of classical mechanics(e.g. impulse theorems or conservation laws from Newton's laws (axioms), etc.)
* Ability to construct simplified models of mechanical systems.
* Ability to validate an approximate character of models and methods in mechanics from both the physical and mathematical point of view.
* Ability to solve problems and examples of mechanics of classical particles and their systems as well as continuum at the level of basic university course of general physics.
* Ability to interpret fundamental experiments in mechanics.

Teaching methods
Lectures: theoretical explanation of basic concepts and laws of mechanics, combined with demonstration experiments accompanied by correct physical interpretation. The lectures will be held at the time given in the university timetable with possible student interaction, alternatively a recorded version or live-streamed version may be available in the MU information system. Tutorial classes: solving problems for understanding of basic concepts and laws, including complex problems. The tutorial class will be given at the time given in the university timetable with student-lecturer interaction. Prerecorded solutions to sample problems are available in the information system.
Assessment methods
Teaching: lectures, exercises Understanding of problems is tested after every other week of exercise class by a written test (total of 6). The test is classified and the classification is taken into account in the resulting classification of the exam. Exam: written test (two parts: (a) solving problems, (b) test) and oral exam.
