This is the second year in which I have begun the introductory
(algebra-based) physics course with waves (progressing to
wave-related topics such as sound and light, then venturing
into electricity and magnetism), reserving mechanics for the
second semester.
I am looking to carry this restructuring still further,
beginning with forces at the start of the second semester,
*then* introducing kinematics once the basis for motion and
acceleration has been established. I should like to hear
from anyone with experience in such a "force-first" curriculum.
