Specifically, conservation of momentum of a system, how the motion of particles can be summed into macroscopic bodies, how forces move through solids in waves, and how quantity of matter (mass) has an impact on acceleration. This [...]

In my free time I set up a website which would [...]
During my first year of college I showed up one Friday for my C++ class only to find that it was canceled. Not wanting to simply go home quite yet, I talked one of the other teachers into letting me sit in and participate in one of the upper level game-development classes. We were broken [...]
