As to your question regarding whether physics has to be taught in some sequence--of course not! Some sequences make more sense LOGICALLY, but as a practical matter, many variations on the sequence can be made successfully (or as successfully as others). I have started courses with optics without any problems at all. I have started with fluid statics and dynamics without doing Newton's Laws. You have to introduce some concepts that would have been introduced earlier in a more traditional sequence, but I have found it easy to do, and in some cases, more enriching. The bottom line is--you do what works for you. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Van E.
