About this app

Learn how to solve problems in physics perfectly every time as an expert. Each problem is solved by a series of identical steps, with six variations for the different topics in introductory mechanics at the high school, AP, college and university level. By learning how to solve the problems systematically you will be able to solve any physics problem on a test or quiz because you'll know the method and strategies experts use. After solving only a few problems you will see the method and be able to apply it to your homework, quizzes and tests. More practice will make you the student who finishes the test early and knows they got an A!

PathPlan contains easy to use widgets for common tasks such as drawing a freebody diagram and energy bar diagrams as well as handwriting recognition for entering your equations. The use of tactile entry increases your retention for when you work on paper. Each approach starts with a video that solves a problem while explaining both what PathPlan expects you to give it and why the step is necessary and meaningful. This will teach you how to solve problems like an expert.

The app is free and you purchase only the content you want. Anyone may purchase the mini courses in order to become an expert problem solver in a learn a specific topic. If your instructor gave you a course number, use that code to find and purchase your instructor's course.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent guided to semi-guided approach to learning physics. Drawing out various steps is really cool. Definitely improved my understanding.

An all-in-one package to help do physics. Really useful.

can't get into the courses, and it wouldn't even let me download the lessons.
