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 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
