Absolutely amazing

"Everyone taking their first physics course or needing a brush up on elementary physics would benefit tremendously from viewing this masterpiece. I know I did! In a beautifully minimilist setting (just a talking head with a 3-foot whiteboard), you watch Jason Gibson solve all the basic problems in a style that is personal and light-hearted yet never infantile. It is great fun to watch and really educational. If I could, I'd give it 10 stars."

"Ultimate"?

"This DVD set is definitely not an ultimate physics tutor, but it does give a good explanation of "Mechanical" physics. However, the rest of physics is not mentioned, like "Mechanical Waves & Oscillatory Motion", "Thermodynamics", "Electricity & Magnetism", "Light & Optics" and "Modern Physics".

If this program was titled "The Ultimate 101 Phyisics Tutor" then I would have rated it with 5 stars because it's excellent for someone who's taking a first course in physics.

Other than that, simplicity combined with conciseness in presentation makes this program superb in relaying knowledge, without the need for fancy animations or vague concepts.



P.S. The above review was written before the author made a sequel which is about Thermodynamics. The author is fantastic and should be commended for his work. I hope he continues on with this material and completes the physics topics."

Good coverage of all of the topics

"Great teacher that takes the time to explain the little things that trip you up. One thing that always got me was the sign conventions. Should positive be "up" or "down"....and all that stuff. This DVD really shines because through working all of the problems little things like this become clear. And the "little things" are usually the ones that cause me to screw up the problems. This DVD series is an absolute steal for what it provides to the student!"

Excellent Physics Tutor

"I already own the Calculus Tutor course by the same author, so I decided to give this one a try for my Physics class. It is done in the same style, so if you like the other DVDs in the series you will love this one. Just as before, all of the topics are taught by working example problems so you really get some practice in how to set up and solve the problems you'll encounter in class and on the test.



The best thing about this DVD set is that it covers so much. It is much, much more comprehensive than anything else I have been able to find. And on top of that, every topic that is covered is covered in enough detail to really help you out in class. Too many times I have found that videos like these just scratch the surface and just introduce the topic without going into any detail - not so with this physics tutor.



If you are looking for a good DVD to help you out with understanding your Physics lecture and give you some guidance in working your homework problems then I believe that this DVD will help just about anyone out there."
