This course presents a calculus-based approach to study of mechanics.  Vectors are used throughout the course, so it starts with a chapter on vector calculus that is used to discuss kinematics of a particle.  The rest of the chapters cover the dynamics of a particle in rectilinear motion, dynamics of a particle in general motion, dynamics of a system of particles, and mechanics of rigid bodies moving in a plane. If there is ample time, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian equations can be tackled as alternative approaches to study dynamics.

This course includes preparing stained smears, culturing micro-organisms, conducting immunology experiments, performing tests to identify bacteria and fungi, and studying microbial growth control methods.
