Rocket Motion the basics

Analysis of the motion and performance of rockets
What you'll learn
Understand the basics of Rocket Motion in its most concise form
Derive simple rocket equations
Perform Rocket Motion calculations
Solve questions with solutions
Requirements
Basic mathematics, but most calculations are simple summations and plugging in equations
Interest in Aerospace Engineering and in particular Spaceflight
Description
This course is a summary of the most important aspects of Rocket Motion, as I have learned it during my study MSc Aerospace Engineering with a specialization in Spaceflight Dynamics at the Delft University of Technology. Instead of an elaborate course on Rocket Science, this course teaches you the basics, with a focus on actually performing the calculations. In particular, I will introduce the necessary theory, we will solve questions together, I will give some questions for you to solve and after provide you with a step by step solution video. There will also be derivation videos, but if you are not comfortable with the mathematics, you can skip these and just apply the formulae. This will be indicated. The mathematics does not get more complicated than relatively simple integration and substitution, contrary what you may expect. The physics used in Rocket Motion is also relatively easy. No specialized knowledge about Aerospace Engineering is required.I have received an excellent grade for this course and I am confident that you will be able to follow my course and enjoy it. If you do enjoy this course, I would appreciate it if you rate this course. It helps enormously. I am also open to feedback.
Who this course is for
This course is for anyone who wants to be able to solve relatively simple but typical Rocket Motion questions that Space Engineers perform. While Rocket Motion seems like a difficult subject, most questions can be solved by applying typical formulae and understanding of elementary physics.
