Mechanics, Spring 2019
Robert V. Kohn
Silver Professor of Mathematics
Courant Institute, New York University
This is the main website for my Spring 2019 class Mechanics (MATH-GA.2710).
Notes and homeworks will be posted here as the semester proceeds. I previously
taught this class in Spring 2018; materials from that semester are here.
This semester's treatment of elasticity will be similar, but the classical
mechanics and statistical mechanics segments will be somewhat different.
