Week of November 7th

This week was very quiet in my office hours. I had one student come into my Tuesday office hours, mainly to get some conceptual help with rotational momentum and rolling to complete the homework due the next day. My Thursday office hours consisted of a few students coming in who just wanted to try the next homework on their own and ask questions if they ran into trouble. The next homework was on simple harmonic motion, so I ended up explaining a few things about the analysis of sinusoidal motion and how it relates to springs. For the most part, the students seemed to pick up simple harmonic motion pretty quickly and were able to do the following weeks homework with relative ease.
