Week #1: Introduction, overview of Mechanics & 課程授課方式與評分標準
               There are three parts introduced in this course, providing students to learn and solve most macroscopic 
            dynamics: Newton's laws, conservation theorems, and Lagrange and Hamilton Principles.
Week #2: Single particle system: What is the meaning of F=ma
             
Week #3 -- Week #4: Some examples for Single particle under various situations
             
Week #5 -- Week #6: Conservation laws: energy, potential, linear and angular momentum. Inertial coordinate.
             
Week #7 -- Week #8: Define conservative system, kinetic energy and its forces by gradient of potential energy
             
Week #9 -- Week #11: Simple mechanical vibration system in absence of driving force: Oscillation. Three types of motion.
Week #12 -- Week #13: Simple mechanical vibration system under driving harmonic force. Quality factor, resonance frequency, and phase transition property.
Week #14 -- Week #15: Review of calculus. Introduction to Calculus of variations. Euler equation. Principle of least action. Fermat's principle to derive Snell's law.
Week #16 -- Week #17: Hamilton's principle, Lagrange function, and using Euler-Lagrange equation to equation of motion in mechanics.
