Course Overview

The Theoretical Mechanics Certification Course is a massive open online course that discusses the formulations of classical mechanics. The course is offered through the Swayam online platform. The course includes lectures that cover important topics like Lagrangian formulation, the Hamiltonian formulation, and the Poisson bracket formulation in the most effective ways.

The Theoretical Mechanics Training is offered through video lectures, course materials, and other supporting resources. The classes will be coordinated by Prof. Charudatt Kadolkar of IIT Guwahati. Once the course lessons are completed and the assessments are finished, candidates will get the Theoretical Mechanics Certification by NPTEL and IIT Guwahati.
