Similar Classes? (Statics and Classical Mechanics)

AI Thread Summary
Engineering Mechanics courses, specifically Statics and Dynamics, build upon the foundational concepts learned in introductory Physics I classes focused on Classical Mechanics. While they cover similar material, these courses delve deeper into the subject matter, presenting more complex examples and problems. The emphasis is on applying the principles of mechanics to real-world engineering scenarios, enhancing problem-solving skills and understanding of the material. This advanced approach prepares students for practical applications in engineering fields.

I'm leafing through "Engineering Mechanics - Statics" by Hibbeler, and it seems almost entirely a review of my Physics I class that was on Classical Mechanics.

How is a class dedicated to Statics or Dynamics (both of which I will have to take) different from my classical mechanics class? It just seems to give more difficult examples and problems for the same concepts...

That is it exactly. Statics and dynamics cover the same material as freshman physics with a little more detail and more applications.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
