Course description
-------------------

8.01 is a first-semester freshman physics class in Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid
Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory. In addition to the basic concepts of Newtonian
Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory, a variety of interesting topics
are covered in this course: Binary Stars, Neutron Stars, Black Holes, Resonance
Phenomena, Musical Instruments, Stellar Collapse, Supernovae, Astronomical
observations from very high flying balloons (lecture 35), and you will be allowed
a peek into the intriguing Quantum World.



Highlights of this Course
-------------------------

This course features lecture notes, problem sets with solutions, exams with
solutions, links to related resources, and a complete set of videotaped lectures.
The 35 video lectures by Professor Lewin, were recorded on the MIT campus during
the Fall of 1999. Prof. Lewin is well-known at MIT and beyond for his dynamic and
