From Wikiversity
Welcome to the Wikiversity Advanced Classical Mechanics Department, part of the School of Physics.

[edit] Department description
This Wikiversity Department is for development of learning resources concerned with finding and solving the equations of motion of a system with constraints. These resources help students learn electrodynamics and general relativity, and they are also provided with a powerful (but not so easy) route to quantum mechanics.
The "topic" namespace contains pages that are for management and organization of small academic units at Wikiversity such as departments (see: Wikiversity:Topics).
[edit] Department news
- 7 June 2006 - Department founded!
[edit] Learning Projects
See: Learning Projects and the Wikiversity:Learning model.
Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! We suggest the use of the learning project template (use "subst:Learning project boilerplate" on the new page, inside the double curved brackets {{}} ).
Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.
