Classical Mechanics: First Semester Course Review

[@Jocularious]

Mate, you're the goat. Your videos are amazing, you're a fantastic educator, and this series has helped me massively. Thank you

[@DotPhysics]

thanks! I'm glad you found the videos useful - I have fun making them.

[@fizixx]

Very nice review.

[@Videomixerify]

Exam Monday 16, thank you for this

talking about textbooks. I was browsing Springer's online catalogue yesterday. Found an interesting looking book: "Modeling Waves with Numerical Calculations Using Python". Should be an interesting read over the holidays. It's a bit short to be honest but it makes a good first impression on a first superficial look.

[@DotPhysics]

ha. hope you have fun reading that. It was part of a series - so it didn't turn out exactly as I had planned . However, this has motivated me to write a more generic python physics text.

I grew up with theta too. Hilarious!

[@DotPhysics]

From my understanding, maths uses theta and physics more often uses phi. I think my first intro to polar and spherical coordinates was in my math courses.

Hello, would watching this video be beneficial if my class uses the Halliday and Resnick 12th edition textbook?

[@DotPhysics]

Probably not - Halliday and Resnick is typically used for the course before this one. Here's a review for a similar course (but it uses a different textbook) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnXRioyGfplqlbs

@@DotPhysics Thank you, I've been watching all your review videos for the chapters and they've been very helpful.

So this isn’t the same as first course in calculus based physics? I have to take mechanics next semester and trying to prep, but I’m confused.

[@DotPhysics]

No, this would be AFTER both intro calc-based physics. Just classical mechanics
