Mar. 27: Formula Sheet & Calculator |
You can prepare your own formula sheet for the final exam. You can bring one 8.5" x 11" letter-sized piece of paper to the exam with anything written or printed on it. You can use both sides of the paper. You can bring any calculator that cannot go online or wirelessly communicate with another device. Graphing calculators are fine. |

Feb. 4: Brownian Motion Sim. |
Links to the Brownian motion simulations that will be shown in class. This first simulation attempts to model the diffusion of particles injected at a point in a solution.
- Here's a link to the ipynb file and here's a link to an html copy of the notebook. This second simulation attempts to model the settling of particles suspended in a solutions. The particles settle due to gravity.
