Core Concepts in Physics |
|
Introduction |
This physics course is conducted mainly via video presentations, employing more than 350 animated or live movies.
Most of the important principles in an introductory physics course are presented in a multimedia format. Students’ comprehension of difficult and otherwise dry topics is greatly enhanced by the lively and animated illustrations.
Students’ understanding and interests in physics will also be greatly boosted after the course.
|
|
Objectives |
Students learn problem solving in physics, the applications and operations of vectors, the kinematics, forces, work and energy, inertia and momentum associated with motion.
Students will also learn topics such as simple harmonic motion, waves and their behaviors, thermodynamics, electric and magnetic fields, electric circuits and geometric optics.

Lecturer Profile |
Associate Professor Gah-Kok, Jacob Gan
He started his apprenticeship as an EDB projects officer in 1975 after graduating from the then University of Singapore with a mechanical engineering degree. Lured by the opportunities in Saudi Arabia, he joined a Singapore-based company to manage a cargo handling operation at Jeddah Port in 1977. After failing to strike black-gold there, he returned to Singapore in 1978 and worked for a firm to set up and manage a manufacturing plant as its general manager until in 1983 when NTU (then NTI) made him an offer that excited him. He went for his graduate studies at the University of Michigan in 1984 and has been working with NTU ever since.
In addition to face-to-face learning and teaching, he also has great passion for eLearning and has been developing and conducting eLearning courses, both scientific and soft-skill based courses. To hone his presentation skills he has been active practicing his babblings in Toastmasters clubs, including taking parts in many speech contests which he failed to win until recently when he emerged Champion in the District 80 Area Z Humorous Speech Contest. |
