Course overview

McGill PHYS 101 is a non-calculus introductory course covering mechanics, oscillations and waves, sound, light, and wave optics. Tutoring can help connect qualitative reasoning to the algebra used in each topic.

PHYS 101 topics we can help with

Introductory mechanicsForces and energyOscillationsWaves and soundLightWave optics

Common difficulties

  • Choosing a system before writing a force equation
  • Reading motion graphs without confusing slope and height

What this course builds on

Review units, ratios, graph slopes, equation rearrangement and basic trigonometry. Use diagrams to connect qualitative reasoning with algebra.

Registration requirements

The guidance above is study preparation, not an eligibility decision. Confirm current prerequisites, restrictions and availability with McGill.

Quick prerequisite check

A cyclist covers 150 m in 30 s at constant speed. Find the speed.

Show the reasoning

150/30 = 5 m/s. Speed alone does not specify direction.

An original Nablio exercise, not an institution’s exam question.

How tutoring can help

Build a diagram, list the known quantities, then select a physical principle. Keep algebra tied to the meaning and units of each quantity.

Exam preparation for PHYS 101: midterms and finals

Alternate mechanics calculations with conceptual explanations, and include the waves/optics material assigned in your section. Check the scale and units of each result.

Use your section’s outline to choose the chapters to review. We work through permitted practice and comparable problems, without completing graded assignments or exams on your behalf.
