Tutor: Barakat Nasser
In this course, we focus on the topics mentioned above. As a reference, we rely on the textbook Principles of Physics or Fundamentals of Physics written by Resnick, Halliday & Walker. We used this book because of its availability and wide use all around the world. So, if you are in a university using another textbook, you will find the corresponding material explained here in a delicate way. We, at TOD, tried to focus mainly on the problem-solving strategies and methods to achieve fast results. Our main focus was there, however, we added some explanations to all chapters, identified important mathematical rules and elaborated wherever needed. If you are looking for a self-teaching reference, you will find your request here. Not only that, we will be available to answer any of your questions related to this course and supply any help needed to achieve better understanding. Some of the most favorite topics: • Motion and Forces • Work, Energy, and Power • Linear Momentum • Systems of Particles • Rotation • Fluids • The Laws of Thermodynamics • Heat and the Kinetic Theory of Gases • Wave Optics: Diffraction and Interference of Light
