Lecture 01, 18.300, Tue Feb 01, 2022. Summary % General mechanics of class. Discuss syllabus, grading, books, notes, etc. Background issue: This class uses concepts from several prior classes. Some of you may have forgotten these concepts, or not have enough practice with them, or maybe they showed up in a footnote in a prior class. To help you with this, the problem sets will sometimes include "practice problems", and I will spend some fraction of the lectures with review. But you will need to go back and read in a textbook *not* *your* *class* *notes*, but a book, to remember or fill in left over gaps. Show videos illustrating various physical phenomena that illustrate the materiel in this course. See ``Lecture 01 videos''. Cover lecture point #000. % % ========================================================================== NOTE: Here #nnn are references to the Lecture Points file. [PSQ] means Problem Set Question. The "lecture summaries and points" are NOT intended as study materials. The points purpose is explained in the "lecture points" file. The summaries are brief descriptions each lecture, used by the instructor to keep track of the material covered. They ARE *NOT* "lecture notes" to be used to study and/or replace attending the lectures, etc. They are provided for your convenience, as a help to organize your own notes. % ========================================================================== % EOF
