| The course coordinator, Dr. Savaria, introduced the part of the course that deals with theoretical physics, i.e. the classes and tutorials. You may access the pdf of his presentation by clicking on the button to the right; it will appear in a separate window. | |
I use a Tablet PC in class, on which I write.
The program in which I write is called Journal, and later I
convert the file to pdf. You
may access the pdf file from today's class by clicking on the button
to the right; it will appear in a separate window. The beginning is the
introduction to the part of the course that deals with experimental
physics, i.e. the laboratory, by Dr.
Deyirmenjian. |
