The course gives an up-to-date and modern overview of the main concepts in the Mechanics of interacting particles. Starting with an introduction to Newtonian mechanics and the Lagrangian/Hamiltonian formalism the course continues with an axiomatic approach to Quantum Mechanics. Path integrals and path integral quantization of Bosonic and Fermionic particles are also treated. A short introduction to Gauge Theories and the Higgs field is given at the end of the course.
