Teaching Notes

I lecture for an hour each week on freshman-level physics. I spend most of it working through standard examples. Here are PDF scans of my handwritten notes. They are neat and reasonably self-contained, so they may be useful anyone studying physics at this level.

  1. Vectors

  2. Kinematics Equations, a comprehensive collection of examples covering each equation [PDF]
  3. Projectiles, Uniform Circular Motion, Tension (lots to cover this week) [PDF]
  4. Tension in a Clothesline, a popular problem worked through [PDF]

…with more on the way as they are written.
