Video Lectures - Physics in Your Life

Author: Richard Wolfson
Publisher: Teaching Company, 2005, 36pp, 1st ed.

Physics in Your Life is more than a course in physics and more than a laundry list of "how things work." In fact, it combines the two, offering a back-and-forth interplay between everyday applications of physics and the concepts needed to understand them. "My approach is entirely qualitative," says Professor Wolfson. "I believe you can understand physics, and understand it deeply, without using mathematics."
