"Not bad". He's of the same calibre of Feynman in terms of explaining physics.

In fairness, high school physics only scrapes over Mechanical physics compared to the full course of 801.

hail to our excelent lecturer!!

[Kricardose]

I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this Elastic and InelasticCenter of Mass Frame of Reference

I Love The Video Collisions Elastic and Inelastic Center of Mass Frame of Reference It Can Increase My Knowledge

i need that blackboard and chalks :D and the lecturer knows how to teach! lol need it all

[NeoJamro]

this guy, Walter Lewin, has made me love physics again ^.^ (currently 3rd year physics major tutoring physics and mechanics full time)

[Libservative79]

I love this guy because my professor is so completely incompetent!!

@sickguy123 wouldn't say what aphididae did is a complication, it is a part of mathematical proof, in both equations for momentum and energy of the wall replace the v2 with 2*m1*v1 / m2, now do a limit for m2-->infinity ... you will find in the first quation m2/m2 and in the equation for energy m2/(m2*m2) ...
