Conceptual Physics I - Classical Mechanics
Overview: This class is designed to present the most important concepts of high school physics without the rigorous math which is usually involved. Considering the short time-frame for the class, the history, philosophy and experimentation behind the physical principles will not be presented. The motivated student is encouraged to discover these concepts on his/her own.
