Welcome!!
This part of the course deals with classical mechanics and waves!
Caveat emptor!!
Course asymptotically approaches being bug-free (see bead on spoke problem later)!
Please be tolerant of any cock-ups rough spots.!
I will be seeking your feedback regularly to improve the course!

Learning methods
This course is not easy!
The challenge is to absorb many new concepts in a short time!
If you can do this, the maths should not particularly challenge you!
This means that you will need to focus on outside study!
Materials!
These slides handed out and available on Blackboard!
