  1. Intro:
    1. Something that
      1. was surprising,
      2. was disappointing,
      3. and was exciting

    ft. bron? #why.

    oml we did three intros each.


1 What we are learning:

"best way to learn is to teach"

ie. ask peers for help, not barak.

  • Physics tried to describe things completely with math, unlike other sciences which use statistical models.
  • Semester one:
    • kinematics!
    • Projectile motion
    • Dynamics!
    • Energy (defines all of physics, but we don't really know what it is)
    • Momentum
    • Maybe: rotational motion
  • Around 30 min per class

1.0.1 Grading:

  • Aim for profs. Profs are an a. But ofc, go for exemplery!
  • Lots of quizzes

2 The map of physics

  • Classical
    • Newtons Laws of motion and universal gravitation
      • Also worked on optics,
        • Waves and cosmology and astrophysics
    • Electromagnetism
    • Classical and fluid dynamics
    • Fluid dynamics
    • Chaos Theory
    • I'm not going to take notes in this
    • ^ in the 1900s
  • Relativity
    • Special relativity
      • Light is at a constant speed to all viewers
    • General relativity
  • Quantum Physics
    • Nuclear physics
    • Particle physics
    • quantum field theory | ties in with special relativity
  • The Chasm of ignorance
    • we can't connect general relativity to quantum physics
    • Also, dark matter and dark energy and such
