Course Description
The historical, societal, and philosophical factors that led to the fundamental ideas in dynamics. The evolution of one's perception of space, time, and matter through the pre-classical, classical, and post-classical periods. We also cover computational methods in dynamics and video media for the development of documentary videos. In the second half of the course, the student studies a selected relativistic dynamics topic and develops a documentary video on the topic.
