When emailing the lecture-note to imechanica [at] gmail.com (imechanica[at]gmail[dot]com) with the subject title as Lecture 1, please also put your information in the text message: Name, University ID, and Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering. Thanks.
Lecture 3: Equilibrium of many-particle system: Moment
1. Cross product of two vectors
2. Equilibrium of many-particle system
Introduction
What is the purpose of the course?
Ensure students have a clear working understanding of the principles of engineering mechanics and an ability to apply them to simple engineering systems.
Brief description of the unit
• Scalar and vector quantities.
• Forces and Newton's laws of motions.
• Kinematics of a particle; co-ordinate systems.

Congratulations to launch of SEAS
I just read Teng Li's entry regarding the launch of SEAS at Harvard. Thanks for posting this interesting information!
On this occasion, I'd also like express my congratulations to Harvard
University in launching the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
(SEAS) last week! It is terrific that the engineering science community in the Boston area is thriving and developing. Best of luck, and looking forward to fruitful interactions in the future!
