These lecture notes are aimed at first-year bachelor students in science and engineering (common
core of Sciences and Technologies (ST) and Engineering Sciences). These notes are concise
and structured and present the essential concepts of the program where important points and
fundamental definitions are highlighted.
The book comprises four parts, one for each part of the title: First on the mathematical
reviews, the second on kinematics, the third on dynamics and the fourth on work and energy.
At the end of each lecture chapter, a series of exercises exercises with their detailed solutions
are proposed for the tutorials. These problems are designed to exemplify the main ideas of the
lecture. I give students enough exercises to consolidate their understanding of the subject, but
not so many that they feel overwhelmed.
