here is how you get started
- Is this a course for you? View the course introduction video to find out.
- Check out the syllabus
- Sign up here: piazza.com/gatech/spring2015/phys7224
use your email (no need for Georgia Tech email address) together with access code phys7224
And do sign up, even if you do not intend to do the homeworks - following the chatter on the course forum you might inadvertently learn something that your professor does not know.
- Begin reading the ChaosBook chapters and viewing the lecture videos for week 1.
Here is the overview of chapters we will study in this course - If interested (not essential, but might be fun),check out the Tue Thu 2:00 - 3:15pm EST recordings of live classes here.
- Some of the homework problems will require you to complete a Python script and run it to produce a specific result. You need to install Python, or the class virtual machine, where all required software is preinstalled. Review software requirements and Python resources links for instructions
- You will have a homework assignment each week.
- Post your questions, comments, advice, etc. in the week's discussion forum
- Good luck and enjoy your course!
