Lecture Resources

This page contains multiple links that will provide information, explanations, problems and even simulations relevant to the topics covered in lecture. The page provides explanations of the content of each linked site which are organized by topic and within each topic ranked by their ease of navigation and relevance and detail of the information they contain. This way you will always find the more complete sites first in the list within each topic. Links with problems and animations for all topics can be found in the problems and animations section.
