Intermediate Dynamics

What is Intermediate Dynamics?

Intermediate Dynamics is typically taught as a senior or graduate-level course. It’s in this course that you focus in on rigid body motion in both two and three dimensions.  This material is used extensively in applications such as 6-DoF (Degree of Freedom) modeling, machine design, satellite design and more.

If you really want to dive into Dynamics beyond an introductory level then this is the perfect course!
