Mathematics of Mechanics study guides

A study guide to the second area of SQA Advanced Higher Mathematics of Mechanics, Force, Energy and Periodic Motion. Covers circular motion and gravitation, simple harmonic motion with Hooke's law, momentum and impulse, work, energy and power, and rectilinear motion governed by differential equations, with advice on which conservation law to use.

A study guide to the first area of SQA Advanced Higher Mathematics of Mechanics, Linear and Parabolic Motion. Covers rectilinear kinematics, vector motion with relative velocity and closest approach, projectile motion, and Newton's laws with friction and connected particles, with advice on method and how the topics connect.

A study guide to the third area of SQA Advanced Higher Mathematics of Mechanics, Mathematical Techniques for Mechanics. Covers the supporting toolkit of vector algebra and the scalar product, the differentiation and integration of motion functions, and the separable differential equations used to model rectilinear motion, and shows how each technique feeds the mechanics topics.
