What should you be able to do?
There are three aspects to the learning of physics:
1. The derivation, from previous
first-principles ideas, of new relations and equations
2. The numerical use of these equations to calculate and predict how
nature will act
3. The fusing of these understandings into concepts and intuition so
that tedious calculation can be avoided when trying to determing the
outcome of a system
