Under construction. This area is a framework being built: most courses have no teaching material yet, and things may change or break. Private self-study. Not an official programme and not recognised by any ministry or school. No qualification, mark or document is issued, and “years 1 to 3” and “advanced” are names of study paths only.

Concept-level units

Units follow the syllabus order, as a recommended sequence rather than a gate.

  1. Newtonian mechanics
  2. Energy and momentum
  3. Variational principles
  4. Lagrangian systems
  5. Hamiltonian systems
  6. Oscillations

Assessable outcome

Derive equations of motion from a stated physical model.

Assessment design

  • topic exercises
  • mixed problem sets
  • unseen proof or derivation problems
  • cumulative examination

cumulative; uses spaced retrieval
