Reading

Our first classes will deal with material from Chapters 2-10, the chapters on motion (mechanics). Reading from those chapters, in that order, should be relevant to what we will cover in class over the next week. Also, I have found the interactive online figures to be excellent, for the most part, and recommend playing with those. Additionally there are online tutorials available (e.g., Newton's 2nd Law, Newton's 3rd law, ... and Momentum, Energy...), which i think are helpful (and will be part of the first HW (wich will be officially posted tomorrow)). The first HW will also include the quizzes from most of these chapters. Please feel free to pose questions about the material, raise discussion topics, and contribute generously to discussions via "comments" to this post.
