Course Overview

Mechanics is one of Physics’s significant areas that deals with the study of motion and displacement. This subject has extreme practical importance as it is used in our day-to-day lives and activities. The Mechanics, Part 1 online course, explores the fundamentals of Mechanics and problem-solving skills required in STEM fields.

The edX Mechanics, Part 1 certification syllabus covers complex Physics topics such as kinematics, velocity, and acceleration, and how they can be connected through calculus. This calculus-based curriculum further discusses Newton’s laws of motion and the concept of energy and momentum, which is another quantity of motion.

A Rice University offers, the Mechanics, Part 1 program is a self-paced studying avenue that will facilitate you to learn at your speed and convenience. It has been developed in association with Rice University and will be taught by its faculty. The course will use video lectures as a medium of teaching and will help you prepare for the on-campus programme at Rice on Mechanics.

The candidates are given the option of choosing from any of the two tracks available so that the course learning can be completed. Both the course tracks are self-paced but there is a time limit until which the course remains accessible in the audit mode that is free of cost. Again, in the case of the verified track, the candidates will be able to access the course materials for an unlimited period of time.
