Cambridge Summer School

At the beginning of August I attended a residential Mechanics summer school at Cambridge university in which I learnt new equations and concepts to do with dynamics; harmonic motion, circular motion, rotational dynamics.

This was indirectly relevant to my topic; the motion caused by earthquakes to buildings can often involve these calculations. I will not need to know this knowledge to write my essay, however when researching, I will be able to understand more of the mathematics behind what happened to the structures during the earthquakes as this will no doubt be recorded in studies and in the university books.
