  1. Excellent! Make sure to post your picture here too. :-)
  2. Hi Dexie. Once you have purchased it, you can download it from wherever/whenever. Just sign back in to your APlusPhysics account and return to the download page.
  3. Nice first blog post Mike, and I'd love to hear more about how physics ties into martial arts!
  4. Nice post Gareth -- by the way, did you notice that your blog had been read more than 10,000 times? Quite the popular author you are...
  5. (PS -- I like the Star Wars reference!)
  6. You are absolutely right Dan -- it is a challenging class, and a large portion of the reward comes learning how to struggle, get frustrated, and realizing you can come out OK on the other end. Hang in there -- it won't be easy, but come June, it will have been worth it!
  7. What an amazing post jelliott -- lots of great insight. Physics C is all about that logical process, and building your "arsenal" of problem-solving tools. And as strange as it may sound, don't let the calculus scare you. You have an amazing calculus teacher, and by the end of the year, you're going to actually prefer the problems that have calculus in them, you'll be so good at it. Calculus is just slopes and areas, things you've been doing for years -- the only real difference is the symbology looks a little different, kind of like reading a different language. Once you learn the language, though, you're golden!
  8. Good Evening James, and welcome to the APlusPhysics community!
  9. Good Evening Mandy, Thrilled to have you aboard. As a volleyball player/coach, dog lover, and person who has also spent lots of time in physical therapy, I bet we'll find tons of ways to apply physics to your interests. Welcome!
  10. Hi Corey, We'll talk about all sorts of interesting aspects of physics that apply to flight -- big interest of mine as well! Thrilled to have you here!
  11. I live by those same words!

    Good evening Ryan, Two dogs and two sisters -- sounds like a busy house. Looking forward to talking about the physics of golf, lacrosse, and paintball as we progress throughout the year!
  13. Good evening Devon, Wow, sounds like you, also, are a very busy guy. I'm a Ghostbuster fan myself, and often times quote the movie in class (though very rarely does anyone get my references -- hopefully that'll change this year!) Looking forward to a fun and exciting year. Make it a great day...
  14. Good evening Hannah, I can't wait to get to know you better. An artist, an athlete, a sister, a barista, and a Seabreeze employee -- so what do you do in your free time (hehehe.) Thrilled to have you in the course Hannah!
  15. We can also talk a little bit about the physics of the military. TONS of interesting examples, demonstrations, etc. that will apply to your not-so-distant future. And thank you for your service to our great country!
  16. Hi Quinn, and welcome to the APlusPhysics Community! Absolutely thrilled to have you here, and looking forward to discussing how physics ties into volleyball, basketball, lacrosse and band (trust me, it does!) A future nurse -- outstanding. My mother has been a nursing instructor for many years, and having been on the receiving end of more than a few surgeries and observer when my little ones aren't at their best, I gotta say that a good nurse makes a WORLD of difference.
  17. Welcome to AP Physics C! I love this course because you can really begin to see what scientists mean when they talk about the "beauty of the universe" and the patterns behind the math. It all finally starts to make sense instead of just coming from random memorized equations. BUT, you gotta do the work. This is one course where even just a few cut corners can spell certain doom. Prioritize your time, build that self-discipline, and let's make it a stellar year!
  18. Welcome to AP Physics C JGalla -- thrilled to have you here, and looking forward to MAKING it a fun year!
  19. Looking forward to a tremendous year Lindsh23!
  20. Hi Zach, and welcome to the APlusPhysics Community! I'm excited for getting into some of our more hands-on labs myself...
  21. Hi Danny. What types of dogs are Murray and Charlie?
  22. Hi Natalie! Absolutely, physics should help in preparing for a career in architecture. And Shogun Palace -- I haven't been there before -- should I add it to my list of places to visit in the near future?
  23. Hiya Morgan. That is a really neat interest -- for years now I've wanted to step back from the physics books and take a run at writing a novel, but keep getting hung up with revisions to the physics books, new editions, etc. Hopefully next year after I finish the current book there will be a little time to give it a shot. Would love to see what you've done -- and perhaps we can find a way to incorporate your interests into some of your assignments. Say, for example, a mini-comic highlighting a physics concept or two in place of a formal lab report? Come see me once we get settled if you're interested and we'll see what we can do!
