The Great Ideas of Classical Physics
The Great Ideas of Classical Physics taught by Professor Steven Pollock consists of twenty-four lectures, explaining the principal concepts and ideas in the realms of classical physics. Classical physics is about how things move, why they move, and how they work. It is about making sense of motion, gravity, light, sound, electricity and magnetism, and seeing how these phenomena interweave to create the rich tapestry of everyday experience. The lectures demystify the great ideas created by brilliant thinkers such as Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell.
