REsearchinLearning,Assessing,andinltokxyzk">An experimental physics textbook by the REsearch in Learning, Assessing, and Tutoring Effectively (RELATE) physics research group at MIT. 

David E. Pritchard, Analia Barrantes, and Andrew Pawl


The goal of this electronic textbook is to help you learn a new way to think about Newtonian Mechanics - a modeling approach to problem solving.  The level is introductory university, and we have chosen a WIKI format to allow you to share your insights and questions.

The Modeling Approach to Problem Solving will ask you to:

  • Look at the world through the lenses of simple physical models that represent common underlying patterns and interactions in nature.
  • Develop a facility in using these models to understand and solve problems with real-world applications - both qualitatively and quantitatively.
  • Learn how to check your solutions to problems for reasonableness to develop confidence and to further your understanding.

The form of this textbook, a WIKI, will allow for user contributions, and especially comments for the authors.

 Certain content areas will allow you to make contributions of your own. 

Before contributing, please read the RELATE wiki copyright and waiver.
