How much of first year Intro physics do you remember?

Summary: I am just curious I know

Im coming up the end of intro university physics mechanics chapters. It has been quite enjoyable, especially chapters on energy, momentum and fluid mechanics.

There’s so much information packed into these chapters though.

I am wondering what was your favourite introductory chapters and how much do you remember from the others?

I am guessing that all the chapters that you enjoyed you’re more likely to remember them because you’ve probably studied them in more depth.

Should I need not to worry about not having the best memory as “important” and “relevant” concepts will always repeat over time anyway. I use quotation marks and important and relevant is relative to the learner. I plan on going more in-depth using John Taylor’s classical mechanics and also Munson, Young and Okiishi have a highly rated fluid mechanics book.

As I said I am curious to know what Intro chapters you enjoyed the most

I enjoyed those topics that made use of Calculus for their development. I remember more of the intro physics course than any other subject because you always referred back to those basics for almost every other course.

I remember a lot, but only because I used to teach the material at freshman level.
