Geometry

Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.

Kinamtics

Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of bodies (objects) and systems (groups of objects) without consideration of the forces that cause the motion.

Dynamics

In the field of physics, the study of the causes of motion and changes in motion is dynamics. In other words the study of forces and why objects are in motion. Dynamics includes the study of the effect of torques on motion.
