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.)

The first few chapters of our course text, Tritton's Physical Fluid Dynamics, are available here for download until you are able to purchase your own copy.
