.... I tried to answer the question, "what is the minimum
number of concepts necessary to teach the most physics". If I
introduce, say, 2 concepts and use them in 20 different contexts, then
the students may come to understand the power of these methods. I
found, empirically, that position, then velocity, then energy, then
momentum carries me very very far. I might not be able to do *every*
example, or even some people favorite examples, but I can do quite a bit
and I think the message comes through.
Anyway, interesting discussion.
