Jan. 13: LaTeX |
LaTeX is a powerful typesetting package for technical writing. While you are not required to use LaTeX to write your PHYS 232 formal report, here are some resources for anyone interested learning how to use it. The simplest way to get started is to use Overleaf which provides a low-barrier entry point that does not require you to install anything on your local system. All you'll need is a free acount. Furthermore, it is a plaform used by many researchers for collaborative writing. LaTeX Tutorials:
Optional documents to introduce you to LaTeX This short set of instructions will help you get started with Texmaker, if you want a locally-installed LaTeX system. |

Jan. 13: Fourier Series |
Here is the Jupyter notebook that will be shown in class this week. It shows how a superposition of sinusoidal functions at discrete frequencies can be used to construct a square wave. Here is an html copy of the Jupyter notebook. | |||
| Calculus Review: | Here is a little review exercise of basic calculus. This is not an assignment to be handed in, but you should be comfortable with all of the problems in this exercise. If you're not, you should review the concepts that you find challenging. | |||
| Recommended Reading: | Kaloyerou - Chapters 1 & 2 | |||
| Formal Report: |

| Lecture recordings: |
The PHYS 232 lectures will not be streamed over Zoom or recorded. However, recordings of the PHYS 232 lectures from W2023 are available on YouTube. Here's a link to a YouTube Playlist. I cannot guarantee that the video content will be identical or presented in the same sequence as the W2024 lectures. However, I do expect the content to be similar. |
