Success in the portion of our class covering an Introduction to
Rotation for a rigid system of particles is determined by your
being able to accomplish the tasks listed below.  The major
objectives are listed by number.  The list under each major
objective includes both subtopics of that objective (usually
topics which are required for a complete understanding of that
major objective) and also the multiple representations of the
task in which you are expected to be proficient.

1. Rotational Kinematics
   Apply the definitions of angular velocity and angular
    acceleration to rotational motion about a fixed axis
   Differential and integral forms of the definitions.
   Algebraic definitions of angular displacement, average 
     angular velocity, average angular speed (spin rate),
     and average angular acceleration, all for rotational
     motion about a fixed axis
   Graphs of angular position, angular velocity, and angular
     acceleration versus time.
   Equations of angular position, angular velocity, and angular
     acceleration versus time.
   Quantitative calculations for:
    Any fixed-axis rotational motion with constant angular
     acceleration.
    Any fixed-axis rotational motion given either angular
     position, angular velocity, or angular acceleration
     versus time.

2. Rotational Dynamics - Force and Torque perspective
   Definition of rotational inertia for a given system of
    particles and a given axis
   Understand and apply the Parallel Axis Theorem
   Definition of torque for a selected force and a selected
    axis.
   Extended free-body diagrams
   Understand and apply Newton's Second Law for a system of
    particles (translation)
   Statics (sum of external forces equal zero and sum
    of torques equal zero about any and all axes)
   Understand and apply the rotational analog of Newton's
    Second Law for a rigid system of particles:
     For pure rotational motion about a fixed axis
     For translation of center of mass plus rotation
      about center of mass

3. Rotational Dynamics - Energy Perspective
   Work done by a torque over an angular displacement
   Instantaneous power of a torque applied to a rotating
    rigid system of particles
   Kinetic energy of a system of particles in pure rotation
   Kinetic energy of a system of particles with a translating
    center of mass and also rotating about the center of mass
   Conservation of Energy applied to systems of particles with
    rotational motion involved

4. Rolling without slipping, and also rotating and slipping
   As an example of applying Newton's Second Law for a system
    of particles, as well as the rotational analog of Newton's
    Second Law for a rigid system of particles
   As an example of applying the Conservation of Energy to a
    system of particles with rotational motion involved
