Description

This course aims to teach students who have already finished learning basic calculus-based physics some advanced circuits principles and tricks to help them master almost all questions related to electrical circuits that could appear in USAPhO or the national Olympiads for other countries. Prerequisites: Single-variable calculus, AP Physics C: E&M (or equivalent) required; basic multivariable calculus, differential equations, and matrices preferred.
