(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract: Introduction to classical mechanics (see description under 8.01). Material is covered over a longer interval, so that the subject is completed by the end of the Independent Activities Period. During the first month of classes, substantial emphasis is given to reviewing and strengthening pre-calculus mathematics, basic physics concepts, and problem-solving skills. Delay in the use of calculus permits students more exposure to 18.01 before the material is used in the physics. Overall content, depth, and difficulty is otherwise identical to that of 8.01. Students receive credit for 8.01 on their transcripts. Credit cannot also be received for 8.012 or 8.01X.
