Introduction

Dear Physics Teachers,

Welcome to Galileo & Einstein. This online course is adapted from Professor Michael Fowler's undergraduate course Phys 109. The video lectures available online are not rehearsed, but are edited versions of live lectures given in the course at UVa. Assignments and administrative information related to his course have been edited from the lectures. New assignments and exams are given that make it more suitable for teachers who take it as a PHYS 6000 graduate level course. To view a sample lecture, click on the radio button Sample Lecture Video. The lectures are in MP4 format and can be viewed using the software Quicktime on your computer.
