Series Details
About
This series is for anyone who is interested in taking AP Physics C next year. My name is Neil and I have taken both AP Physics C: Mechanics and E&M and scored fives on both exams. In this series we will learn the basic concepts of physics to prepare you for the upcoming semester and help you do well on the exam! We will also do AP questions to prepare you for the style of AP Physics questions.
Note: It is already assumed you have a working knowledge of Calc 1 if you are going to be joining this series.
