One of the things I really like about the Matter and Interactions curriculum that we're using for introductory physics (and that I'll miss when we stop using it next term) is that it has a really ...

A force is a push or a pull that acts on an object due to the interaction with another object. Force is measured in newtons (N). Forces are divided into contact forces and non-contact forces. A force ...

I'm teaching introductory Newtonian mechanics again this term, and as always I find myself fascinated by bits of the subject that my students are largely indifferent to. This week, that collided with ...

Megneto helps Shini explain how induction works and why magnetism seems so complicated. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Megneto helps Shini explain what induction is, how it works, and why ...

The first evidence of a gravitational wave detected 100 years after Einstein imagined it -- proof that space actually vibrates -- drew standing-room only enthusiasts to two explanatory sessions this ...

IN English schools of the present day the teaching of Experimental Physics is, with few exceptions, either neglected or abused. Yet there can be little doubt that this subject ought to be an integral ...

Introduction to the physical principles underlying the electronic structure and the electronic and thermal properties of solids from macroscopic to nanometer dimensions. General quantum mechanics and ...

It is not uncommon for students to enter William and Mary with AP or IB credits in physics. These credits will be transferred according to the general college policies. An AP score of 5 or IB score of ...
