Aims	Teaching of fundamental notions of mechanics: cinematics of the material point and of rigid body, fundamental notions from the dynamics of the material point and of the rigid body. Application of the theory of differential and integral calculus theory and also of the theory of differential equations in the study of some special problems in mechanics.	
Content	1. Lagrangean mechanics:
    -Restrictions of motion and displacements 
    -The equation of d'Alembert and Lagrange. Applications:
       -Equations for the motion of rigid bodies.
    -The principle of virtual displacements. Applications 
    -Lagrange's equations of the first kind
    -Lagrange equations of the second kind. Prime integrals. Applications
2. Mechanics of nonholonomic systems   
    -Lagrange's equations of the second kind with multipliers 
3. Hamiltonean mechanics:
    -Theory of Hamilton's equations. Prime integrals
    -Theory of Hamilton and Jacobi. Applications 
4. The stability theory:
    -Equivalent definitions of the stable equilibrium
    -Theorems for stability. 
    -Equations of the small oscillations around a stable equillibrium configuration.
    -Applications.
5. Variational principles of mechanics
    -Basic notions of calculus of variations
    - Hamilton's principle
