贯穿力学史主线的经典力学教学探讨1)
TEACHING OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS WITH THE HELP OF THE HISTORY OF MECHANICS1)
-
摘要: 经典力学主要涵盖牛顿力学、拉格朗日力学及哈密顿力学等三大部分内容。现行高校教育体系下所开设的理论力学课程,承担了经典力学基础知识普及的教学重担。历经数百年发展所臻于完善的经典力学体系,对于绝大数理工科学生来说不啻为一大挑战。在教学中,融入并贯彻力学史主线的经典力学教学,可带来意想不到的良好效果。Abstract: Classical Mechanics includes Newtonian Mechanics, Lagrangian Mechanics as well as Hamiltonian Mechanics. Fundamental theories of Classical Mechanics are mainly reflected in the course of Theoretical Mechanics in the current framework of higher education. Students majored in science and engineering are mostly intimidated by the complete knowledge hierarchy of Classical Mechanics. By incorporating the history of mechanics in the course, positive feedbacks from students are obtained.
