Mind blowing.. excellent study by Prof. Bloomfield. Hatsoff to you sir. Very excellent representation of physics concepts by taking interesting examples. Good Pesonalited Professor i have ever seen .

I really liked how physics was presented. It was made less intimidating and vey educational. It's the first time I had a fun time in class while learning a lot ever since I started high school.

great course. I like how he explains the things and bases each module off of a real life object instead of some dumb extremely advanced calculus concept. That made it more fun to watch and learn.
