This course should be of practical and theoretical interest to any physicist, engineer or mathematician concerned with classical mechanics.
Geometric algebra integrates conventional vector algebra (along with its established notations) into a system with all the advantages of quaternions and spinors. Thus, it increases the power of the mathematical language of classical mechanics while bringing it closer to the language of quantum mechanics. This course systematically develops purely mathematical applications of geometric algebra useful in physics, including extensive applications to linear algebra and transformation groups. It contains sufficient material for a course on mathematical topics alone.
Besides a reformulation of the mathematical foundations of mechanics, the course contains a detailed analysis and reformulation of the laws of mechanics from modern perspective of Modeling Theory. This should be of interest to people concerned with the philosophy of science.
Knowledge and understanding of geometric algebra with application to mechanics of a single particle, central forces and two-particle systems.
Origins of Geometric Algebra: Geometry as Physics; Numbers and Magnitude; Directed Numbers; The Inner Product; The Outer Product; Synthesis and Simplification; Axioms for Geometric Algebra.
Developments in Geometric Algebra: Basic Identities and Definitions; Algebra of Euclidean Plane; Algebra of Euclidean 3-Space; Directions, Projections and Angles; The Exponential Function; Analytic Geometry; Functions of a Scalar Variable; Directional Derivatives and Line Integrals.
Mechanics of a Single Particle: Newton's Program; Constant Force; Constant Force with Linear Drag; Constant Force with Quadratic Drag; Fluid Resistance; Constant Magnetic Field; Uniform Electric and Magnetic Fields; Linear Binding Force; Forced Oscillations; Conservative Forces and Constraints.
Central Forces and Two-Particle Systems: Angular Momentum; Dynamics from Kinematics; The Kepler Problem; The Orbit in Time; Conservative Central Forces; Two-Particle Systems; Elastic Collisions; Scattering Cross Sections.
Lectures, oral and written presentation at seminars. Certification will be graded failed (0), passed (3), passed not without distinction(4) passed with distinction (5).

Knowledge and understanding of the work by W. Edwards Deming (1900-1993) in the field of quality management.
Biography. Deming's view of recent industrial history. The 14Points: create constancy of purpose, adopt the new philosophy, cease dependence on mass inspection, constantly and forever improve the system, remove barriers, drive out fear, break down barriers between departments, eliminate numerical goals, eliminate work standards, institute modern methods of supervision, institute modern methods of training, institute a program of education and retraining, end the practice of awarding business on price tag, put everybody to work to accomplish the transformation. Variation and the control of processes. The Deming cycle. Joy in learning. Cooperation. Profound knowledge.
Understanding the Deming philosophy - Revolution in thought. The processes of today's world: Detection and prevention. The processes of tomorrow's world: Continual improvement.
Operationalizing the Deming philosophy - Evolution in practice. Physical change, logical change and, emotional change.
Criticism of Deming's philosophy.
Oral and written presentation at seminars.
