Preface

This text covers the Classical Mechanics content of the first year core physics unit at the University of Bristol. It is divided into three parts, the Course notes, Problem sheets, and Workshops.

Please email if you spot any mistakes in the lecture notes.

This documents was written using Quarto. The notes are available in HTML5 (the colour scheme and text size can be changed, and is good for screen readers), PDF, and Word format. This improves accessibility somewhat, but I am happy to receive feedback where you have run into problems (e.g., with equations). To learn more about Quarto books visit https://quarto.org/docs/books.
