This course is algebra-based and requires a strong background in mathematics, specifically in algebra and trigonometry. Having a basic understanding of physics is helpful but not necessary.

It is unnecessary, but students are encouraged to have supplementary material to help fill in any gaps if they are reviewing for AP exams. I will provide as much as possible, but most free materials do not include an assortment of high-level questions for students to practice. I recommend an AP Physic practice book, such as Barron's AP Physics I or Physics Premium 1 & 2 by  Kenneth Rideout, M.S., or Princeton Review AP Physics Prep. Compared to larger course books, these books are inexpensive and have many practice questions with answer keys. Some come with online practice exams.
