    Is there an equally good physics resource anyone knows about (clear, concise, reasonably complete lecture notes). I'd like to get some sort of idea what I should expect in the course. Thx! -Maura

    thank you physicsnoob! That's an excellent site (much better than the ones that came up on google when I was searching for a good refresher).

    Should i take calc-based or algebra/trig based physics?

    Hi everyone! Thanks so much for the responses. I'm definitely now strongly leaning towards the calculus-based version. I'm very relieved that I don't need to go back and take trig (old and decrepit as I am, I can still find the sin and cos keys on a calculator without TOO much difficulty)...

    Should i take calc-based or algebra/trig based physics?

    Hi! I'm in my mid-30s and am going back to school to become a vet. I'm really not sure which physics series to take. Back in the day, I was very good at math (e.g. 800 on math SAT + GRE, 5 on BC calc, A or A+ in multivariate calc, ordinary + partial DiffEQ, Linear Algebra, and a bunch of...
