Classical Mechanics
Peter Dourmashkin · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The principles of mechanics successfully described many phenomena encountered in the world. Conservation laws involving energy, momentum and angular momentum provided a second parallel approach to solving many of the same problems. This text investigate both approaches: Force and conservation laws to develop a conceptual understanding of the core concepts, a familiarity with the experimental verification of our theoretical laws, and an ability to predict the motions of bodies.

Principles of Pharmacology
Carl Rosow, David Standaert, & Gary Strichartz · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The object of this text is to teach students an approach to the study of pharmacologic agents. The focus is on the basic principles of biophysics, biochemistry and physiology, as related to the mechanisms of drug action, biodistribution and metabolism. The course consists of lectures and student-led case discussions.
