Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know calculus for this program?

No calculus is required! We focus on conceptual understanding with algebra-based mathematics. Students who have completed Algebra 2 will have the mathematical foundation needed. Our instructor makes complex ideas accessible through intuitive explanations and real-world examples.

Is this program too advanced for high school students?

Not at all! This program is specifically designed for curious high schoolers (grades 10-12). Dr. Saltzer is known for making complex physics exciting and understandable. We start from the basics and build up systematically—no prior quantum physics knowledge is needed.

What is the class format?

Classes are held live online every Sunday from 10 AM to 1 PM EST for 4 consecutive weeks. Each 3-hour session includes interactive lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and Q&A time. You'll engage directly with the instructor and fellow students.

Will this help with AP Physics?

Absolutely! While our program goes beyond standard AP curriculum, the foundational concepts in quantum mechanics complement and enrich AP Physics understanding. Many students find that this deeper exploration makes their regular physics coursework more meaningful.

What materials do I need?

Just a computer with reliable internet connection and a curious mind! All learning materials are provided. We recommend having a notebook for taking notes during the sessions.

Can I get a certificate?

Yes! Students who complete all four sessions receive a Certificate of Completion from EdQuill Academy, recognizing their achievement in exploring quantum mechanics.
