MIT MIT-OCW
Physics I: Classical Mechanics (8.01L)
MIT's introductory mechanics course covers kinematics, Newton's laws, work and energy, momentum, rotational motion, oscillations, and gravitation, the same material as the standard 8.01 sequence but paced across a full fall term plus MIT's Independent Activities Period. Materials on MIT OpenCourseWare include lecture notes, problem sets with solutions, exams, and a syllabus outlining weekly topics. The course is built around problem-solving practice rather than lecture videos alone, reflecting its studio-style classroom format at MIT. As an OpenCourseWare offering it is free to access with no certificate attached, aimed at students who want a slower, more thorough first pass through classical mechanics before tackling upper-level physics.
