Mechanics 1 Concepts: Advanced Level Mathematics
Complete in-depth coverage of mechanics 1 concepts which are examined at Advanced Level Mathematics
Description
Mechanics 1 is part of Advanced Level Mathematics. It has four topics: 1 - Kinematics of motion in a Straight Line, 2 - Forces and Equilibrium, 3 - Newton's Laws of Motion and 4 - Work Energy & Power. In this course, I have put emphasis on the understanding of main concepts in mechanics 1 which, in my opinion, poses greatest difficulties to students as they prepare for their Advanced Level Mathematics certification. Each topic has several videos where I will teach you a specific concept in mechanics 1. I start each video by outlining clearly the concept you will learn by the end of the video. At the end of each video, you will download the Video Deconstruction Document (VDD) which will help you to understand what I have just taught in the video.
To understand mechanics 1 concepts you do not necessarily need to have studied physics although this will give you an edge over other students. All I need from you is to identify the mechanics 1 concept that I will be teaching you and then do plenty of practice on them. So in my video I may repeatedly mention a concept in mechanics 1. This is intentional as it is meant to ensure that you understand the concept.
