Explores differential equations for motion, including critical damping and damped oscillators, with applications in complex numbers and examples of mass-spring systems.
Explores the angular momentum theorem and dynamics of solids with fixed axes, including the physical pendulum and vector components of angular momentum.
Analyzes an LC resonator as a harmonic oscillator, discussing transient behavior, oscillations in charge and current, and the interplay between electrical and magnetic energy.
Introduces the Mathematics Special Course at EPFL, emphasizing its role as a bridge to Bachelor studies and the importance of mathematics in engineering.
