Kavan Doctor's F=ma Class
F=ma - 15 Classes
This class series will cover the fundamentals of mechanics necessary to pass the F=ma test and qualify for the USA Physics Olympiad.
By the end of this class series, students will be prepared to score well in the F=ma contest. This class will also build students’ abilities in physics, giving them the ability to excel in AP Physics 1 and C as well.
Students will be given homework assignments of 5-10 problems after each class to improve their problem solving abilities.
