The Physics Interactive Video Tutor (PIVoT)

MIT's Center for Advanced Educational Service (CAES), in collaboration with the Physics Department, is producing a new learning environment on the web for those taking a Newtonian Mechanics course.

On the PIVoT web site, you can watch streaming videos of all 35 of Prof. Walter Lewin's 8.01 lectures (taped in Fall 1999), available in full 50-minute format as well as shorter, topic-specific segments. There are also help sessions by Prof. Lewin, organized by keywords and topics, in which he shows you how to solve problems similar to the ones that will be assigned.

You can access an entire on-line textbook (Physics, 2nd ed., Hans Ohanian, W.W. Norton Publishing Co.), interact with dynamic Java physics simulations, and find answers to Frequently Asked Questions. You might find it useful and we encourage you to check it out.

If you have any difficulties with the site, contact pivot-support@mit.edu.
