Lecture Slides

There are various lecture slides associated with the course. They were developed during the Spring of 2010 and are intended to deliver important bulk concepts while avoiding the need to write down 'every little thing.' Specifically, the slides address:

1. Definitions that are not useful for me to write and students to rewrite during lecture.

2. Derivations that will never need to be reproduced but need to be communicated quickly because they lead to important consequences.

3. Derivations that will need to be reproduced and have been recorded for clarity.

Listed in each slide set are:

   Associated Section/Pages from EK.AEM
   Associated Lecture Notes
   Associated Homework Assignments

Lecture Notes

There is a set of lecture notes associated with the course. They were developed during the Fall of 2008 through the Spring of 2009 and are intended to outline key-points, objectives and goals from the text in the order we cover them. Listed in each set are:

   Associated Sections/Pages from EK.AEM
   Suggested Problems from EK.AEM
   Brief Outline of Lecture Talking Points
   Lecture Objectives
   Lecture Goals  

Assignments

The assignments for this course have reached a steady-state. Consequently, solutions are often available through students who have taken the course in the past. Since these resources might not be available to all students, I have drafted a set of solutions to these homework assignments which I make available through this site. These solutions were, more or less, finalized during the Spring of 2010 and represents the end of an evolution starting around 2006. Outside of the lecture itself, these homeworks and solutions represents some of the oldest parts of the course and many of the ancestors can be found on older ticc pages.

In the past the homeworks tended to have a good deal of discussion providing context to a problem so that both the mechanics and concepts could be gleaned. However, after talking with some students and course reviews I decided to move the commentary to the solutions in favor of a more streamlined problem statement. It is unclear whether this latest incarnation is 'better' than the past but what is clear is that they won't be regressing unless someone else wants to revamp them. If you want to see the previous versions then visit the older ticc pages. If you find any typos in these solutions then I would appreciate you letting me know. They are pretty clean but they could always be `cleaner.'

With that said, I must make emphasize the following point:

     Caveat Emptor : We will work from these problems and since solutions are 
     readily available it is up to the individual user to make sure that they 
     are LEARNING the material. If you buy into a program of procrastination 
     followed by rapid and thoughtless recreation then you may find an 
     inadequate product, which cannot be returned.
