Series Details
About
Hello! If you are just starting physics, or are an intermediate learner, this series is for you! In this series we will cover the entire book of 'Fundamentals of Physics' written by Resnick, Halliday & Walker
It is a beautiful, simple yet rigorous textbook that will help you learn Physics from the basics and make you good at solving problems
In each session, we will be going over 1 out of the 44
sections of this book in order.
Here's the index of the book for an overview:
PART 1: Mechanics &Properties of Matter
PART2: Heat
PART 3: Electromagnetism & Optics
PART 4: Atomic Physics
I am myself just starting out with this book and have little experience in physics, but it also means I can break it down for beginners and understand your struggles.
This is NOT meant to be a class, where I teach, but rather a DISCUSSION PLATFORM with a specific goal in each session where we help each other out and learn the section of the book and also be accountable!
I will also pass out the digital notes I have made at the end of each session - which will include many application problems.
There's a link to the free pdf of the book in the discussion section below!
NB: This Series may extend over months with about 5-7 sessions each week - it'll be worth it!
Tutor Qualifications

Session 1
Orientation
We'll introduce ourselves, have some icebreakers!
We will discuss and decide the structure of this series and how to make the most of it!
Then, We shall go over the 1st Chapter of the book which is 'Measurement'.
If we have time left, we shall discuss how to use the practice sheet that i will provide you.
PS: This session will be easy - from Session 3 onwards we will get into rigorous physics - but this is just as important as the others.
