Crash Course Physics!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDD

[Spaceception]

Crash course physics is coming, and it's hosted by a Brit!

I'll be interested to see how this is presented and what depth they'll go into the topics (and indeed what topics they cover)

I dont think I could learn physics if she was my teacher, biology. . . . maybe.

If it follows the style of their other courses, it's going to be pretty useless. Physics is deeply rooted in mathematics, and I haven't seen as much as a single equation in a few videos I've quickly scrolled through. Including ones like Microecon, which are also fairly heavy on math.

Brian Cox manages to explain concepts pretty well without much (and often any) mathematics. If you really want to get to the bottom, you will need that, but to acquaint yourself with the concepts and getting a feel for things, this could be perfect. Bearing down on someone with equations without them having a basic grasp and intuition on the matter is likely to be a futile exercise.

This is all good for some topics, however there are parts of physics where trying to get an intuitive idea of what's happening will have you going round in circles. Real understanding of a lot of topics does rely on tackling the maths.
