About

I'm back!
In this series we will focus rigorously developing concepts in other fields, especially physics, using mathematics.

Prerequisites: Differentiation and Basic Integration

As an initial goal, we will prove and then apply each formula and physical concept covered content-wise in both AP Physics C Mechanics and E&M exams. However, our derivations and discussions will not be limited to these exams, and this is not strict prep for the exams. We will cover more than just what one must know for these two subjects.

I have created this series as a sort of group study for those who wish to use their mathematical background to gain footing in other subjects. It is entirely possible

We will first cover Chapters 2-14 of HRK's "Physics: Volume 1" for Mechanics, then Chapters 1-7 of Griffith's "Introduction to Electrodynamics." These textbooks focus on the theoretical, mathematical side of Physics and are not mere standard AP textbooks.

A little about me: I'm about the biggest Indie fan there is, I almost exclusively watch (John Hughes>>) 80s movies or the upcoming Star Wars series, and I read sci-fi in my spare time. I tutor for the sake of those aha moments, and have taken Multivariable Calc, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, and Complex Analysis. Who knows what I'll tutor next, hope to see you soon.
