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.
