This lecture covers the introduction to studying mechanics, including the structure, chapters, history, objectives, and limits. It also delves into differential calculus with derivatives of force and coordinates, as well as vector calculus with scalar and vector products. The importance of historical experiments and key figures like Kepler and Newton is highlighted, along with the concept of chaos in mechanics and the development of functions.
