This course is a theoretical physics course about kinematics. The main goal of this course would be to analyse the kinematic quantities in Cartesian and curvilinear coordinates.

First, we will analyse kinematic quantities (velocity, acceleration and sector velocity) in Cartesian coordinates. Then, we will derive the expressions for the kinematic quantities in cylindrical and spherical coordinates, and apply those expressions to various problems. Also, we will analyse the curvature of the curve. We will derive the expression for the curvature of a plane curve and show how to apply a derived expression. Finally, we will talk about the special (but very important) case of motion with a constant sector velocity.

In this course, there are plenty of activities for you. The activities will help you to get more confidence. Some new concepts are introduced through activities.

The ideal student for this course is the undergraduate student or the high school student who wants to learn more than is necessary for the curriculum. For this course, you need a basic knowledge of physics. Also, basic knowledge about calculus is required. The standard high school physics course is more than enough.
