PHYS 2320 Introductory Mechanics (homework problems)

Lower-division calculus-based introductory mechanics for scientists and engineers, The University of Texas at El Paso, 2022

Detailed solutions to about 140 homework problems have been recorded and uploaded to YouTube. It includes the main topics in the standard curriculum: kinematics, forces, conservation of energy, conervation of momentum, and all the rotational analogues. Several of my Teaching Assistants have contributed to this effort over several semesters.
