Course notes

Helpful notes will appear here when possible, often in hand-written form.

Here is an example pdf (and latex file) that I worked with students on adapting to their final exam in Mechanics some years ago. If you all would like to invest in making a nice set of notes like these that I would provide to everyone during the exam, I'm happy to discuss this. (This style is adapted from Woan's very nice book The Cambridge Handbook of Physics Formulas.)
