Week of 1/21

Outside of my TA hours, I managed to help some friends in Physics 1 and Conceptual Physics classes by directing them to and helping them understand the three fundamental kinematics equations. I found it especially interesting how my one friend in the Conceptual Physics class was expected to understand certain physics concepts without having a certain level of critical mathematical explanation to make sense of some of the concepts. Math and physics are so deeply entwined, it hardly makes sense to gloss over the math in an attempt to comprehend the physics.
