hi, i m paul hewitt, the author of conceptual physics. you know, physics is a study of nature. the way things connect to one another. and these connections are underlined by the concepts, concepts which are beautifully expressed mathematically. but the focus of conceptual physics will be the beauty of these concepts in english. the equations of physics will be seen as guides to thinking, much more than recipes for numerical problem solving. so the idea is the comprehension of concepts first and then computations later. ideally, in the laboratory where they re really meaningful. this tape you re looking at right now is the first. it s the intro of a series of more than 30 tapes. and this is a long step from where i started: video one of one my classes. that s like back in 1974. let s take a look at my class as it looked like in 1974. enjoy. matt, you wanna come here and try this? could i have one other volunteer, please, to pick up the anvil and put it on my head chest?
