MIT Teaching

While at MIT, I was fortunate to work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for courses 8.01 (Classical Mechanics) and 8.02 (Electromagnetism). This page contains the materials I created for these purposes

8.01 - Classical Mechanics

• Review sessions
  • Handout explaining the no-slip condition for a rolling object
  • A formula sheet summarizing many of the equations of classical mechanics
  • A very long handout explaining how to deal with mechanics problems involving continuous mass transfer
  • A presentation on simple harmonic motion
• Practice problems
  • 67 pages worth of more mechanics questions you could ever solve. All have answers, some have solutions
  • Questions and solutions on a review session on rotational motion (including gyroscopes)
  • Quizzes with solutions: 2 (questions, solutions), 3 (questions, solutions), 4 (questions, solutions)

8.02 - Electromagnetism

• Notes from a review session covering self-inductance, Maxwell's Equations, Electromagnetic waves (including the Poynting vector), diffraction and interference. I also went through some practice questions with solutions.
• A guide to surface/flux integrals for perplexed 8.02 physicists.
