6. Why Teach Mechanics? interpretation of differential equations, the mathematical experience is deepened and challenged. The study of mechanics is thus fully justifiable in terms of mathematics learning, but also, if sympathetically taught, can link students into a rich historical and cultural tradition. Fundamental to an effective appreciation of all this, is an understanding of the notion of a mathematical model, together with its very precise vocabulary, and a modelling cycle, moving repeatedly between…
