RFC: Consider adding physics courses
Problem:
- OSSU does not have a course to cover required topic physics from our curricular guidelines.
Background: Helps with computer hardware courses
Proposal: Add courses from this source: How To Take All The Physics Classes You Need Right From Your Computer(video), (doc)
physics from our curricular guidelines.
Where is that in the CS 2013?

If you're referring to ACM's CS Curricula 2013 it is mentioned on p. 82 that physics knowledge would be useful for a Graphics and Visualization course. The curricula also includes other top universities CS curricula and they include physics as required science electives for a CS education.
it is mentioned on p. 82 that physics knowledge would be useful for a Graphics and Visualization course.
To clarify, that isn't discussing a single Graphics and Visualization course, but the general knowledge area (pursuit of which would largely be through electives).
The curricula also includes other top universities CS curricula and they include physics as required science electives for a CS education.
Similarly, our curriculum has elective courses that require physics, which we note.
But neither of those establish required physics topics for a computer science education.
Learners have expressed interest in a separate physics curriculum from OSSU. If you are willing to take on that significant undertaking, those learners that would be very grateful! Doing so would require finding a curricular standard and then identifying the best courses to meet those standards.
There is a physics channel in our Discord server. This would be a good place to find like minded learners. The pinned messages also contain recommended resources.
I see, would definitely be interested in contributing. I see that there is a separate track for math. Maybe I can model the physics one after that
Some more resources I found:
forums:
- list of educational YouTube channels (Reddit post/Google doc)
- Is there anywhere online where I can learn about physics?
- Best combo of free online courses to replace BSc degree in Physics?
