Material point mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics that studies the motion of objects by considering

their mass concentrated in a single point. It is based on Newton's laws, which describe the relationship between

the force applied to an object, its mass and its motion. This discipline makes it possible to predict and analyse

the motion of objects in a variety of contexts, including free fall, circular motion and the dynamics of particle

systems. By combining the concepts of kinematics and dynamics, material point mechanics provides a powerful

theoretical framework for understanding the physical world around us.

This course is accompanied by illustrations and direct applications so that students can immediately assimilate

the concepts covered, thus facilitating the transition from the theoretical course to application problems.
