Advanced Mechanics Supplemental References and Tangents

Hello All!

This site is a spin off of our graduate level Advanced Mechanics class:

Outline of CM class site structure

***Insert***

All of the material produced and used for this class is available online.

These include include a complete set of: Presentation files, classroom videos, Assignments (and for the students enrolled solutions). AND, a very comprehensive set of Internet links (URLs) spanning the material and much else, that will allow the student straightforward access to the next material, should they desire to continue past the level presented in the finitely timed class. We use a multi page HTML5 based web site, to warehouse the content; that with time, has become ever easier to use, with fluid near instinctive means of navigating throughout the content, requiring a minimum of clicks and hand-motions to actuate what one is actually pursuing. With the wide assortment of tools available to a programmer/user of today's web sites, we've also aimed to support the content with simulations and animations help elucidate the concepts being discussed.

We were motivated to begin this ancillary site for two main reasons:

To help organize our voluminous (and ever growing) set of active WWW supporting links. To maximize a student's/reader's rate, depth, and degree of assimilation. Our lectures are taught from Lecture presentation files of pdf format - the industries standard format for laying out highly formatted text. Such linkages, can be loosely grouped, as those that:

Aid in Intra-document navigation, i.e. - those which immediately support the presentation

Link to External sites, for more loosely related material that catches the eye, shows great promise to the field, or those that may aid and inform the student, later in their studies and researches. Where one can come to get filled up on the latest reports and discoveries related to our Class, and with time for Physics and Science, in general.

Links to our own content covered in other classes, and/or tool designed to help the reader 'see' a simulation of what the phenomena is and how it acts.

To provide a conduit for ancillary material, and to do so in a manner that does not hinder the normal class flow nor student's own traditional means of assimilation. And to provide introductions to new enabling methodologies and supportive and mathematical techniques.

Geometric Algebra is the primary subject, that I wish to disseminate

One would hope that with time and further input the site would grow to take on the most powerful aspects say:

1) Your favorite Aggrigate news site (www.whatfinger.com or Drudge Report) for the latest & greatest,

2) Physics Today's specificity, and

3) Sci-Hub’s & Z-Library’s Comprehensive and universal access,

all with the same feel and ease and security of their preferred web browsing client App, embedded in each and everyones own personalized daily/typical work-flow.

One would want to add to it.

With the IT edge one might conceive of an open-source effort where the whole of humanity would have access and the input their knowledge should deserve. OPENsource. bye bye pubs. Tears all around there, eh? Hell the whole of Higher ed can in many ways be ported through the internet, what is lost and what may still be found to gain is still wide open ever-changing question.

How much can be pushed at what rate, at which age, with given level of previous still extant understanding? ?? ???

Math Foundations - Provide the best tools for carrying out calculations across the widest range of subject material. Would have legs for upper through lower level students.

Machine Learning (ML)

Please let me disambiguate here - This is not AI - Artificial Intelligence. ML can be found under several other synonyms in the literature: Neural Net, Holographic Memory, and sometimes spuriously as AI.
