About Me

Philippe Kelley
Northbridge, Massachusetts, United States
My name is Philippe Kelley and I am a senior and member of the class of 2012 at Northbridge High School. As a high school student it is vital to take Physics in order to pursue any career in Science or attend particular colleges. I intend to become an Actuarial Science major and topics covered in Physics are udoubtedly important. In order to qualify for Physics credit I plan to study Physics through the DVD series known as the Mechanical Universe. I will share my thoughts, ideas, questions, and solutions to problems on this blog. (Period 1 - The Mechanical Universe, Physics - Philippe Kelley)
