The Web-based material is divided into 13 modules. Each modules has a physics theme. It reviews concepts and formulas associated with this theme and presents 10 solved problems. Each solution addresses the following points:
 |
Concepts, principles, relations that apply to the problem: |
|
Why do they apply? |
|
How do they apply? |
|
Details of the calculation: |
Student unfamiliar with the the concepts and formulas needed to solve a problem should refer to their junior/senior-level undergraduate textbook for a review.
