Principles of Physics 1
Principles of Physics I is a course in the fundamental principles and applications of physics. Topics include equations of motion, Newton’s laws of motion, translation and rotational equilibrium, work, energy, momentum, rotational motion and oscillations. Suitable for students intending to pursue other scientific studies or engineering. For the 2020 academic year the lectures will be online and recorded.
Course Schedule
Lecture videos. Apologies for the sound quality. I bought a proper microphone mid-way through the course, but then it disappeared. A new one arrived for the final few lectures. Laptop mics are not good!
