The following are links to course supplements that offer helpful review and assistance with
mathematics basics you will need to be very comfortable with. All of these documents will
be handed out in class. They are provided here as an additional resource. The Adobe Acrobat
Reader can be obtained from a link on the previous web page.
Documents
- First Mathematics Review
- Exercises for First Mathematics Review
- Unit Vectors
- A Wonderful Disucssion of Temperature
- A short document with examples on Graphing taken from the University of Minnesota

The items which follow are links to sites that contain numerous instructional learning opportunities.
These links contain a large number of interactive lessons spanning all of the major content areas
of physics. You will have to spend some moments learning how to navigate through each site in
order to be able to use the materials.
Links
- This is a link to a wonderful collection a brief explanations for how various gadgets and machines we use work
- The is a collection of instructional packets over a whole range of physics topics
- This sites contains a large number of descriptions about units of measurement
- A collection of animations on varous physics topics
- Another collection of very good simulations.
- Information about physical constants
- Information about unit standards, prefixes, derived units. This is a terrfic website.
- An elementary "How Things Work" site. The explanations are rather elementary, but the visuals are quite good.
- Merlot Physics Portal (Lots of excellent material here.)
Challenges
- From the Salt Lake Tribune Have fun with this one!
