this man is legend!

This is actually the standard way of teaching the first undergraduate and even graduate lectures in physics in germany. They were called the "Knoff hoff" lectures, named after a popular german science TV show, by the mathematics students (who themselves had to endure very dry hardcore math lectures) to make fun of the physics students who had it so easy:).It's nice for the first few lectures but for aspiring physicists you need to switch to the hardcore stuff as fast as possible.

P/S: i oni learned physics in my upper secondary.. From Malaysia btw..

[Munny2406]

he made me interested with physics.. a subject that i've disliked since 2006... maybe like he said, i dun remember my teacher demonstrating to us anything.. the whiteboard was the oni tool the teacher used for 2 whole years...
