Exam Preparation

This web site contains tutorials on basic topics in physics. It also includes a tutorial on basic math skills required for physics. The tutorials clearly explain the basic concepts and provide practice opportunities.

This site explains physics concepts using computer graphics and animations. Portions of this web site allow users to post physics questions.

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. 

This site discusses mechanical waves and their motion. 

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 site contains tutorials on a variety of physics topics.  The tutorials include well illustrated explanations and practice problems.

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.

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.

This website discusses various aspects of mechancial waves, including water waves and sound waves.
