CLASSICAL MECHANICS
Mechanics is a scheme for studying the motion of all bodies.
OR
Coordinate system in the way to describe space quantitively or any event in space.
Origin is a fixed point and three Axis which are mutually perpendicular are labeled as (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧)

For 1-dimenssional
𝑥റ is the position vector and its time derivative gives velocity.
