After completing the course, the student can:

•    Understand the basic principles of classical mechanics in physics; this includes mass, inertia, center of mass, impulse, forces, torques, velocity, acceleration, equations of motion.
•    Calculate the physics properties (incl. mass, inertia and center of mass) of objects (shapes).
•    Understand the relationships between the different quantities of classical mechanics as mentioned in the previous item.
•    Solve problems in classical mechanics in physics on paper.
•    Understand how to numerically solve the equations of motion using different numerical integration schemes.
•    Perform numerical integration on simple examples.
•    Understand the broad and narrow phases of collision detection and how different types of bounding volume influence the behaviors of this detection
•    Understand the difference between the physics of rigid bodies, soft bodies and fluids
•    Create a realistic simulation of interacting bodies 
Inhoud
