Eat the Textbook: Physics
Every physics course covers the formulas. This one covers why the formulas are true — and rebuilds your intuition from the ground up.
About this course
Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, and also the most commonly taught badly. Formulas get memorized without intuition, and the result is students who can solve textbook problems but can't explain what's actually happening.
This course rebuilds physics from scratch — starting with why the laws work, not just what they are. Mechanics, waves, E&M, and modern physics — done once, done right.
What you'll cover
- 1Newtonian mechanics: forces, energy, and momentum rebuilt
- 2Waves, sound, and light — beyond the formulas
- 3Electricity and magnetism from first principles
- 4Modern physics: quantum basics and special relativity
- 5Problem-solving architecture for hard physics problems
Who this is for
Audience
Students who passed physics but never understood it
Prerequisites
Basic algebra. Calculus helpful but not required.

Kevin Braza
PhD Candidate, UC Davis · CBRN AI Safety Scientist
Chemical engineering PhD candidate, Quantic MBA, former boarding school faculty, and CBRN AI safety scientist at Reinforce Labs. Previously UCSB B.S. Chemistry, Harvard/Amgen, and IB + AP classroom instructor. Teaches at the intersection of chemistry, AI, and systems thinking.
Frequently asked
Do I need calculus?
Helpful but not required. The core intuition is taught conceptually first. Calculus versions of the derivations are included as bonus material.
Is this useful for MCAT or SAT Physics?
Yes — deep understanding transfers to any exam format, and you'll understand why the answer choices are wrong as well as right.
What order should I take the Series in?
Any order. Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus are independent — Calculus does deepen Physics if taken together.
