F=ma Course
Created by an IPhO Gold medalist, a structured course on classical mechanics designed to prepare students for the F=ma exam, the qualifying examination for the USA Physics Olympiad
Course Description
This course prepares students to succeed on the F=ma exam, the first qualifying round for the US Physics Team. The course covers all topics in algebra-based classical mechanics tested on the exam, and is written by Eddie Chen, an IPhO Gold Medalist, F=ma perfect scorer, and MIT '25 Physics graduate. Students with no prior physics background are welcome, although it helps to have some experience in mechanics.
For more information, see the syllabus in the Course Information section of the Course curriculum. For more about me, visit www.ezchen.org.
Master the concepts
The course is 10 units long, with each unit covering a key topic, and the final unit dedicated to review and exam tips.
