Course materials: Syllabus The outlines of the material are listed under the chapters below.
Do you want to learn how to do some math for the course?
These are the formulas which we will use during the course.
Questions? Check here to see if they have been asked before. FAQ
Some advice about how to study.
Practice questions. I have not made any attempt to eliminate overlap with the homework questions or the clicker questions.
NOTE: Answering questions is an important way to learn material. It acts as an assessment of whether you know the material. More importantly, it teaches you how to figure out answers to questions. Relying on memorizing someone else's answers is like trying to learn to do a back flip by watching the UGA gymnastics team.
At the end of the semester you will be asked to Please evaluate the course!
