Teaching

I am teaching Calculus based introductory physics I several years now.  This is the First part of two semester calculus-based introductory course in laws of classical mechanics, wave motion and sound. The important laws of physics in these areas and problem solving are emphasized.Problem solving is an integral part of the course. Conceptual understanding is reinforced using interactive computer-based techniques, demonstrations, and laboratory experiences. By introducing matrices, i, j and k unit vectors, integration, differentiation and partial derivatives to students, I can show/prove them a beauty of physics problems and calculations.

 

I am also teaching calculus based college physics II for many students. This is the second part of two semester introductory course in electricity and magnetism, optics, and topics in modern physics. The important laws of physics in these areas and problem solving are emphasized. Problem solving is an integral part of the course. Conceptual understanding is reinforced using interactive computer-based techniques, demonstrations, and laboratory experiences. Students are ready to use what they learned from Physics I such as vectors, unit vectors and forces. They will learn more applications of vector multiplication by introducing new forces like magnetic and electrostatic forces. Students are really enjoying this class since it shows more applications toward every day life.
