Physics 8A - Introductory Physics
Physics 8A: Introductory Physics (Spring 2013, UC Berkeley). Taught by Professor Michael DeWeese, this course provides an introduction to physics
focusing on mechanics, thermal physics, and waves. Introductory Physics - Introduction to forces, kinetics, equilibria, fluids, waves, and heat.
This course presents concepts and methodologies for understanding physical phenomena, and is particularly useful preparation for upper division study in
biology and architecture.
