Solving Problems: College Physics I
Your tutorial for mastering physics exercises
Your Instructor
Hi, there! My name is Jorge Diaz. I am a physicist with more than a decade of experience teaching physics courses at all levels. Dozens of courses taught and hundreds of successful students have allowed me to perfect methods and techniques that will allow you to master the solving of physics problems. Over the years I have collected comments and suggestions from my students so that I can now share with you tips, tricks, and my personal recipes to solve the problems that you might encounter in homework and exams.
