- Description
- This course builds all the fundamentals for problem solving in physics including problem solving steps, visualizing, sketching, labeling, units and an intuition for amounts, and mathematics (ratios, graphs, algebra, trigonometry, and vectors). Kinematics analysis and force analysis provide the bulk of the context. Momentum and energy analysis may also be touched upon.
