Kinematics is the subdivision of mechanics whose object is the quantitative
study of movement of material bodies, regardless of the causes that produce
this movement (position, speed, acceleration, etc.), whereas dynamics is the
study of the movement of bodies depending on the forces exerted on them.
This work is structured in two main parts. The first part will be devoted to
the kinematics, preceded by the definition of mathematical tools that make it
possible to understand this part as well as the rest. The second part will be the
subject of the study of the dynamics followed a chapter on work and energy,
which consists of shedding light on the relationships between movements
and their causes. This handout represents a course support of mechanics of
the material point. It is intended for students of the first semester of the SM
track. We want students to find in this support a good working tool that will
allow them to fill any gaps that may take place when taking notes while
explaining the course or assignments led by their teachers. This handout is
just an add-on to the course. He cannot, in any way, exempt the student from
his presence in class.
