Two types of lecture notes
Two types of lecture notes
(Type P) Formal Lecture Notes:
Refer to ODTUCLASS for related Colab notebooks.
Fundamental physics concepts and problems related to these concepts are explained.
Implementing the solutions using coding are explained using examples.
(Type C) Coding Structures & Syntax:
Refer to below Colab notebooks for basic syntax (for python) for fundamental programming structure
You can also work out exercises found at the end of each notebook to gain a better skill in programming.
Study Strategy
Study Strategy
Follow below guidelines for a successful semester:
You have to start studying before coming to the lectures.
Read / Understand / Study physical concepts given in Formal Lecture Notes.
Use AI prompt engineering if you have difficulty.
Use simple & direct prompts: "Explain equation of motion | 1D timeless acceleration" etc.
Refer to Coding Lecture Notes to gain skills on programming.
Again use AI prompt engineering if you are getting errors or no results.
Give clues of your progress clearly: "Tried to calculate 1D motion using the following equation but got this error: ..."
Prepare questions before the lectures.
Go through above before the lab and prepare for two quizzes (see Grading for details).
