Description
This course covers all of one and two dimensional kinematics and sets the foundation for other topics. The class is perfect for high school (honors and AP students), college and university students taking an introductory physics class. Students will learn to analyze the motion of an object using equations and graphs. I will teach you how to approach problems and help you develop your own problem solving strategies to become a better problem solver.
