II. COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course consists of thirty lectures on AP Physics (abc, will involve Calculus). I will guide them on the textbook and basic concepts. High-school students who are particularly interested in STEM and have a solid background in Mathematics (at least Algebra II) are welcome to join. Calculus will be used in the course but not as a pre-requisite.

The covered materials are particularly aligned for performance at AP Physics C. I will emphasize on the fundamental concepts and deductive structure of physics despite the fundamental importance of experimental tests for physics. I may adjust the covered materials according to students’ level and progress. Roughly, the course will arrange as follow:
