PhysicsWebs

For those of you adult returning students trying to finish your degrees, I feel for you!
My last class was a monster - Physics II. It was only hard because I'd been out of school for like 5 years and lost all pre-requisite knowledge. I can tell you though, times have changed, and there are internet resources everywhere. Here are some of the better physics sites I frequented to supplement my lectures:

  1. http://bcs.wiley.com/he-bcs/Books?action=index&itemId=0471151831&itemTypeId=BKS&bcsId=1346 - this was the student companion site for my book. It has solved questions, sample exams, etc.
  2. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html - this site had good graphic examples
  3. http://www.physics.ncsu.edu:8380/courses/py208/208tests.html - this site had comparable sample exams worth practicing with
  4. http://reference.allrefer.com/encyclopedia/categories/physics.html - this site had basic physics articles covering concepts like electromagnetism, etc. Watch out though - lot of pop-ups here!
  5. http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/ - this is a very nice "World of Physics" overview site
  6. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/vectors/u3l1a.html - this one is a High School physics study site - still covered some concepts well.

There are more sites out there, but these seem somewhat more organized and helpful.
