Sketching lecture UP

Last uvision, visual podcasting announcement of Fall 2007

The podcast of today's lecture is now up on the Uvision podcasting site. The visual track uses the diagrams from the 10:30 AM lecture. The full scale scan files of section 0002 are now in the blue mailbox, "Deluxe lecture files," for each section.

Early section: If you want the files from section 0001, we will be getting them scanned in tomorrow, and I will slip them into "Deluxe lecture files."

Day off from lecture

I think that nearly everyone worked their you-know-what off to get ready for midterm 3, so I am giving everybody the day off from lecture.

In the meantime here are a few things you can work on:

1. Scout ahead in the textbook:
   
   17. Light
   20. Electricity
   
   I specifically like the "Physics On Your Own" blurb on p. 341, with two pencils and a small mirror. You can try this out. And if you have another small mirror or two, you can make your own retro-reflector like the Apollo astronauts placed on the moon, which is diagrammed on p. 344.


2. View the two new movies on the Uvision site, both about the electromagnetic interaction, our last big topic of the semester.

See you again on Monday!

Three new problems on Uvision podcast

There are three exercises visually podcasted now on the Uvision website. These are three of the exercises that I like in chapter 11. I have a few more to publish but these will hold you for now.

Friday's lecture and movie are up now.

Check the Uvision website. The Friday lecture on angular momentum is now UP. Also the special movie on angular momentum is now available.

Sept. 14 lecture podcast

I just set up the lecture podcast for Sept. 14. It is on the Uvision visual podcasting site.

New exercises in the Uvision podcast

I just published seven (7) new visual podcasts corresponding to homework exercises up to chapter 6. Go take a look.

Today's lecture is now UP.

I podcasted the Sept. 10 lecture, just now. Look at the lectures page in the Uvision website.

Friday's lecture is UP on uvision.

The visual podcast of the Friday lecture is now available at Uvision, http://web.mac.com/uvision.

The visual podcasts of lectures actually make up a different podcast series, so you will want to subscribe to it individually in iTunes, in addition to your subscription to the "uvision podcasts" that we have been using since the first day of classes. So you will actually have two separate iTunes subscriptions now.

I will try to get as many lectures up as possible, time permitting. I hope to get Monday's lecture up on Monday afternoon.

Uvision, new podcasts

There are four new visual podcasts at Uvision. Three of them are about forces, chapter 3 and chapter 4 concepts.

Baseball podcast

There is a new visual podcast concerning baseball acceleration at the Uvision site. It is from the problem solving manual (PSM).
