"Material point mechanics"
Material point mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics that focuses on the study of the motion of objects that can be considered as points, i.e. objects whose dimensions and shape are irrelevant to the analysis of motion.
Mechanics of material point is based on Newton's three laws of motion. These laws describe how objects react to the forces applied to them, and how they move accordingly.
Mechanics of material point makes it possible to analyze and predict the motion of objects using these fundamental laws, as well as other concepts such as kinetic energy, potential energy, angular momentum and conservation of momentum. It is crucial to many practical applications, and a cornerstone of our understanding of the world around us.

This course is divided into six chapters:
- Chapter I: Dimensional analysis and uncertainty calculation
- Chapter II: Vector analysis
- Chapter III: Material point kinematics
- Chapter IV: Relative motion
- Chapter V: Material point dynamics
- Chapter VI: Work and energy
