This lecture covers the basics of advanced physics, focusing on mechanics. Topics include the purpose of physics, different domains of physics, mechanics, measurements, order of magnitude, and the kinematics of a point particle. It also delves into the historical development of mechanics from Aristotle to Isaac Newton, Henri Poincaré's contributions, and the triumph and formalization of mechanics in the 17th to 19th centuries.
