Pre-Physics Review
When learning how to solve physics problems, you'll probably want to review the Pythagorean
theorem, slope-intercept form, and the trigonometric and inverse trigonometric formulas. You'll
also want to look over some of the basic equations for acceleration, displacement and velocity.
