Exams



  • SR lecture notes handout the material may include some stuff I did leave out in lecture
  • GR lecture notes handout the material may include some stuff I did leave out in lecture and I posted it because the lecture formulas were hard to read. I am not sure if this is much better but it won't matter either way as GR is only conceptually on the exam, not with calculations. LectureProblemsYouCouldNotReadOnVideo.docx
