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.
