Basic Physics is a series of posts in which I try to explain physics and the math needed to do physics in such a way that anyone who has gotten through high school with no more math than algebra can understand. It will cover the math, then the topics usually covered in a calculus based introductory mechanics class, then the topics in a calculus based introductory electromagnetism and circuits class. In other words, the first year of a physics or engineering major's education in physics.
To do this I am ably aided by my editorial consortium, to which has been added a LaTeX and technical editor, sirluke777. Together they ensure that I am explaining things both clearly, and correctly.
Below is the index of all the posts to date, as well as the ones coming up in the next few weeks. I try to update weekly, as my grad school schedule and life allow.
