This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of mechanics and thermodynamics. The first part of the course focuses on classical mechanics, covering topics such as kinematics, dynamics, work, energy, momentum, and rotational motion. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving techniques and the application of these principles to various physical systems. The second part of the course introduces the core concepts of thermodynamics, including temperature, heat, the laws of thermodynamics, entropy, and their applications to engines and refrigerators. Throughout the course, a strong emphasis will be placed on developing analytical skills and a conceptual understanding of physical phenomena.
