Sometimes, I like to give lectures and presentations. Here you will find online versions of these talks (they have been "webified"). Also, some of the stuff I have posted is like mini-tutorials (some not so small). Instead of leaving those in the blog area, they will be posted here.
Tutorials
- Numerical calculations for complete beginners. (I also have previously labeled this "Numerical Calculations: So easy, a cave-man could do it). Anyway, numerical calculations is a way of calculating things (in this case kinematics motion) by breaking the problem into many small (and easier) pieces. In this tutorial, I show how to solve a couple of problems using a spreadsheet or VPython.
