This lecture covers the methodology of scientific development from Aristotle and Archimedes to Galileo and Newton, focusing on the triumph of determinism and the emergence of modern mechanics. It also delves into the organization of the course, fundamental quantities in dynamics, and the concept of reference frames. Practical exercises include estimating the usage of surgical masks during the COVID-19 pandemic and analyzing the energy released by an atomic bomb explosion using dimensional analysis.
