Class ideas

Based on today's conversation, here are some class ideas to consider for the year.

We'll do some traditional mechanics topics (1-d motion, 2-d motion, 3-d vectors, forces, energy, etc.)

Here are some other topics thrown about today:

Circuits 'n stuff
Fourier stuff
quantum mechanics
relativity
nuclear physics
sound
optics
lasers and holography

I like the idea of a mid-year project of your own choosing. Folks seemed semi-enthusiastic about that, so I suspect we'll try that. By then, I hope you'll have an idea of something you'd like to investigate on your own.

Welcome to Physics with Calculus! And thanks for such a pleasant first class.
