OTF Conference

I'm learning all kinds of new stuff here at the OTF Conference. I'm trying to post a picture on my blog and possibly a video as well. Here's a cool pic of the Trinity explosion, the first test of a atomic weapon on July 16th, 1945.

Here's a cool video as well of the same thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w6LsP3UBeM

Eureka Videos

Hi Folks,

Tonight, if you visit the website, you'll notice a new link called Eureka Videos. These are 30 youtube video that are approximately 5 minutes long each and explain some topic related to physics. Many of the videos dexcribe concepts that are not covered in this course however many are very pertinent. If you would like a brief tutorial on inertia for example, consult the first video.

See you tomorrow.

Just a note that I've located the electronic textbook solutions and posted them to the website. Look for the link on the SPH3U webpage. If you decide to use them, please download them to your computer by right clicking on each of the chapter links and saving them to your hard disk.

MCR3U Electronic Glossary

Hi Folks,

Just a note that I've placed a link to an electronic mathematics glossary on the MCR3U webpage. This is a very comprehensive dictionary of mathematics that you might find useful particularly if you are learning the english language as a second language.

Enjoy!

Formula Page for SPH3U

Hi Folks,

The formula page for the SPH3U course has been updated and now more closely matches the formulas in the lessons. You should print off a new copy of the formula page so that you have the most up to date version.

Also, the due date for the STSE project is on the calendar on the wiki

See you tomorrow!
