Exam Preparation

This web site by C. R. Nave hosted by Georgia State University provides a comprehensive coverage of physics with very nice tutorials on all major concepts of physics.  Clicking the topic of interest on the concept map will produce a concept map of subtopics; further clicking gives well written tutorials.  These concept maps help one see how the various topics are interrelated.  You can access the web site or  purchase the materials on CD ROM.

This site contains lecture notes for a complete algebra based introductory physics class offered by the University of Winnipeg distance education program.  Each topic contains several subtopics and a section with practice problems.

This web site contains a complete electronic physics textbook for a one year course at the algebra based level. There is also a calculus based version, Simple Nature, and a conceptual version, Discover Physics.  They can be downloaded electronically for free or purchased as a paper copy.  The author, Ben Crowell, is a professor at Fullerton College and uses these books in his classes there. 

MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of course materials used at MIT. This course covers traditional topics of mechanical vibrations and waves, coupled oscillators, and electro-magnetic radiation. This course features a full set of lecture videos, as well as assignments, exams, and other course materials.

This web site contains a variety tutorials organized by topic.  The explanations include common misconceptions, animations, and problem solving techniques.  The site also includes a section with practice multiple choice questions.

This website discusses geometrical optics; the basic optical phenomenon of refraction and reflection; and important terminology and formulas dealing with optics, among other topics.

The Physics Classroom Tutorial is an online physics tutorial written for high school physics students. The tutorial was originally developed for physics students at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois. Today the Tutorial pages and other original Glenbrook South resources are hosted by StudyWorks! Online.
