Courses marked "(free)" are available to all, whether or not you have a current subscription. All other courses require a current subscription for access. We offer these free courses to allow you to try out our training before you subscribe.
If there is a course you would like to see us develop in this section you can always suggest a course.
| Course No. | Course Title | Eq. Hours* | Prerequisites |
| PHYS50 | Introduction to Vectors This course is an introduction to how vector quantities can be represented geometrically and mathematically, on concepts related to vectors and the spaces in which they exist, and on mathematical operations that can be performed on vector quantities. |
5 | none |
| PHYS51 | Introduction to Position, Velocity, and Acceleration This is the second course in a series on basic physics. This course covers the vector quantities of position, velocity, and acceleration |
5 | PHYS50 |
| PHYS52 | Introduction to Force, Momentum, Work, and Energy The third in a series of courses on the basic quantities of physics and how they are used. This is the foundation of the science of dynamics, the study of how things move, and the related science of statics, the study of why things don't move. |
5 | PHYS51 |
| PHYS53 | Introduction to Angle, Angular Velocity, and Angular Acceleration This is the fourth in a series of basic physics courses on the topic of angular motion. Included are concepts of angle, angular velocity, and angular acceleration. |
5 | PHYS52 |
| PHYS54 | Introduction to Torque, Angular Momentum, and Rotational Energy An introduction to the concepts of rotational dynamics including, torque, angular momentum, rotational energy, moment of inertia, and conservation of angular momentum. This is a continuation of the series on the basic quantities of physics. |
5 | PHYS53 |
| PHYS160 | Thermodynamics - The Laws of Thermodynamics This is the first of a series of courses on thermodynamics. The topic of this course are the laws of thermodynamics and the preliminary concepts that are required for an understanding of thermodynamics. |
5 | PHYS54 |
