...This included an emphasis on statics and understanding how physics concepts interacted with mechanical design. I believe that building a solid understanding of the fundamentals and directly connecting those fundamentals to test-style problems is critical to success in topics that can otherwise seem daunting. This approach also allows students to make real progress at any level. (read more)
...I know the common stumbling blocks for beginning physics students from being a teaching assistant and grader for the summer pre-freshman physics course at U. of Pennsylvania. I've tutored a number of people in this topic already with good results. I have a Ph.D. in fluid mechanics, which is the... (read more)
