Anushri's Study Session!

Starts

This session is to help Anushri go over LOL diagrams & energy, but anyone is welcome to join!

Cool Topics in Mechanics

Starts

We'll go over more advanced (but very fun) aspects in mechanics that might not be traditionally taught in your last physics class you took. If you're interested in rocket motion, systems of springs, gyroscopes, and differences in time with spaceships traveling near the speed of light, then you might enjoy what we talk about!

To get the most out of the sessions, you should have a firm understand of calculus of at least the AP Calculus BC level, and a physics background of at least AP Physics 1.

Textbooks we'll use:
  • Morin, D. (2023). Introduction to classical mechanics: With problems and solutions. Cambridge University Press.
  • Kleppner, D., & Kolenkow, R. J. (2014). An introduction to mechanics. Cambridge University Press.

Quantum Physics: A Full Guide for BEGINNERS

Starts

Curious about the mysteries of quantum physics? This beginner-friendly course - taught to you by a student certified in an Introduction to Quantum Computing course - covers foundational concepts like qubits, quantum gates, wave-particle duality, superposition, entanglement, and more!
No prior knowledge of quantum physics is needed—if you've completed Algebra I, you're good to go. Bring a paper and pen/pencil, and get ready to explore the fascinating world of quantum science!

Physics: Discussion and Problem Solving

Starts

Each week we will try to go through Certain topics of physics and complete that topic for the next sessions. We will also solve problems at the end of each topics
The Base reference material for teaching the topics will be:
i)Physics, Volume 1 and 2 by Halliday, Resnick, Krane
ii)University Physics with Modern Physics by Young, Freedman
iii)Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick, Walker

aand Khan Academy of course

We will also try to look at some past olympiad papers within our capabilities

AP Physics Help/Study Session

Starts

This is season 2 of my popular help series I held last year! Bring any questions you have about AP Physics or any practice problems you would like to work on!

I cover all AP Physics (AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism).

NOTE: Sessions are subject to change and many more will be added after

AP Physics 1/IB Physics Theme A Crash Course

2nd session

We will cover all of AP Physics 1, which aligns with IB Physics Theme A (and some of Theme C). This course is perfect for review before moving on to AP Physics 2, AP Physics C: Mechanics, or IB Physics Year 2. It’s also a great way to get started with physics.

Each session will focus on content that is highly beneficial for both courses. If you’re taking either class, I hope these sessions help you a lot!

Get Ready for AP Physics C

2nd session

Welcome to the series "Get Ready for AP Physics C!" Our goal is to prepare you for AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism before the next academic year starts.

Prerequisites: AP Physics 1 (or some introductory physics) and some basics knowledge of Calculus. Note that these are recommended for this series, but all are welcome to learn and participate as able.

AP Physics 1 - Unit 1: Kinematics

3rd session

In a three session series, we will go into depth on Unit 1 of the AP Physics pantheon which covers the study of observed motion. This series is created at the request of a learner, so ideally the group size remains small (<10) so that every participating learner is given a chance to receive individualized help! All are welcome!

Get Ready for AP Physics 1!

3rd session

Taught by a 5 scorer on AP Physics 1, we'll go over everything you need to hit the ground running when the school year starts. We'll go over key prior knowledge as well as a basic overview of every unit so you'll understand exactly what's expected of you during the school year.

AP Physics 1: A Complete Guide for Beginners

4th session

In this series, we will learn every topic in AP Physics 1 at a beginner level, so you don't need to have any previous knowledge of Physics. Even if you are already acquainted with Physics 1, you can join in for some review. The only thing required is regular attendance to ensure no unnecessary gaps in knowledge.

If you have any questions about the topic, feel free to reach out :)

AP Physics 1 Prep Course

4th session

Each week, we'll talk about how the physical world works: kinematics, forces, motion, energy, momentum, and everything in between.

This course is closely aligned with the AP Physics 1 curriculum, which has been adapted to fit in the semester timeline. These sessions will prepare you for your AP Physics 1 class and the exam you will take in May.

Help with Physics Topics - Ask me anything

40th session

You can ask me for help with problems in Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, Gravitation, Electricity & Magnetism, Thermodynamics, Waves, Optics, or basics of Quantum Mechanics. I can help with any AP Physics course, and as a USAPhO qualifier and silver medalist, I can assist with competitive physics problems. I am knowledgeable in many different Physics Resources and Textbooks, especially for preparing for F=ma and USAPhO exams. I am also well versed in advanced math (multivariable and vector calculus, or linear algebra) that applies to physics.
