Quiz problems
A complete year of physics, in two parts.
Watch. Practice. Prove it.
No textbook, no pressure. Learn one clear idea at a time and test yourself when you're ready.
Watch
Short whiteboard videos, one concept at a time. Learn entirely by watching — there's nothing to read.
Practice
Interactive problems after every module let you work the physics yourself, not just watch it.
Prove it
End-of-module exams need 70% to pass — and you can retake them as many times as you like.

Physics that finally clicks.
Frequently asked questions
Is University Physics Education a legitimate course platform?
Yes. University Physics Education is a dedicated online physics learning platform founded and taught by Dr. Matt Anderson, a Senate Distinguished Professor of Physics at San Diego State University. The platform provides a complete first-year university physics sequence—featuring over 300 ad-free video lectures, 600+ interactive practice questions, and end-of-module exams designed specifically for STEM undergraduates and AP students.
Who teaches the courses on University Physics Education?
All core lectures and derivations are taught directly by Dr. Matt Anderson, an award-winning physicist with over two decades of experience lecturing calculus-based college physics. Dr. Anderson holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Oregon, is an NSF-funded physics education researcher, and has reached more than 230,000 subscribers and 20 million views through his educational YouTube lectures.
Does University Physics grant accredited college credit?
No, University Physics Education does not grant direct transcript university credit. Instead, it is designed as a mastery and exam-prep platform to help engineering, physics, and science students pass their university's calculus-based physics sequence (such as PHYS 101/102 or PHYS 195) and prepare for the AP Physics C exams. Professors can also adopt it as the private digital backbone for their own accredited university courses.
How does University Physics compare to Khan Academy, Chegg, or YouTube?
Unlike fragmented YouTube clips or static formula sheets, University Physics provides a structured, calculus-based curriculum taught by an active university professor. There are no homework answer leaks or passive reading requirements; each module combines short concept lectures, embedded comprehension checks, and worked exam-grade problem workshops using the "Watch, Practice, Prove It" methodology.
How does pricing work, and can I try it for free?
You can start immediately with Module 1 of either semester completely free—no credit card required. Full access to both Semester 1 (Mechanics) and Semester 2 (Electricity & Magnetism) is available as an all-inclusive subscription for $9 per month, or through a single one-time purchase option. Subscriptions can be canceled at any time directly from your account dashboard.
