Mathematics for High School Physics

Building a bridge between Maths and Physics

• You are currently going through your 2 last years of high school and you took Physics.

• You are in Grade 10, and you are about to take on Physics next year.

• You are preparing a High School End Exam in Physics (IB, A-Level, AP etc.)

And you are experiencing trouble with exercises that involve:

_ Rearranging equations (Algebra)
_ Manipulating vectors
_ Applying trigonometry

Then, this course is for you!

Physics is a truly fascinating subject: What you will learn in high school compiles what humanity knows about the world around us, from the hugeness of our universe to the incredible wildness of the infinitely small (particle physics). This exploration is full of wonders and can really amaze you… That is, if you do not stumble on the notions of mathematics that are needed.

I am a physics teacher, and some of my students get really stuck in Physics, just because of the Maths. They have trouble applying what they learn in Math class to Physics. This is really a shame, and a big loss to them, because the principles in Physics are quite simple and easy to understand. To fix this, I created this course. See it as a bridge between Maths and Physics.

Please note that this course is not a rigorous mathematics class: the focus here is to help the student apply the mathematical tools needed to solve high school physics problems!

In this course, I review with you all the Math you need to feel comfortable in your study of Physics at high school level. This course is actually a 3-in-1: There are three sections.

• “Algebra for Physics” teaches how to rearrange physics equations effectively and reliably.

• “Vectors for Physics” explains what are vectors, how to use and manipulate them with ease.

• “Trigonometry for Physics” dives into the Trigonometric notions you need in Physics.

As a bonus, tons of little practical tips are dispersed in the course. These will make your life as a physics student much easier!

Follow this course with a pen, a paper, a calculator nearby, and be ready to pause the videos. Lessons are punctuated with solved examples and questions for you to train on. There are also videos that compile full exercises. I solve all of them in detail on a white board. You can also access to these exercises as pdf files attached to the videos.

If you take this course, follow it diligently and work on all the exercises. That will guarantee, that Maths will never be a problem again in your studying of High School Physics.
