Calculus and Physics

I Will Derive!



Doug sent around the URL for this YouTube video but didn't get around to embedding it in a post here. (My brother also sent it to me, from a different blog, so this has definitely gone viral in some part of the blogosphere.) If you click on the image to go to the YouTube site, you can read all of the lyrics in the "more info" area.

Obligatory math/physics comment:
This is a nice example of the application of calculus to motion in physics, a topic taken up in chapter 3 of the calculus textbook and chapter 2 of the physics textbook.

THOUGHTS at the BEGINNING of the SUMMER.

1. There is a meeting scheduled for FRI. 5/16/08 @ 2:30 in SM 260.

2. Here are some recent photos:


This is a major part of the crew who worked on the SOLAR CART PROJECT.






Here is the crew in the (temporary) TCC ENGINEERING CLUB room at SM 244.




















Here is a photo of Aaron receiving the award from the SGA as Outstanding TCC ENGINEERING CLUB member for 2007-2008. ~~~ Congratulations, Aaron!



3. Is anyone besides Emma still working on the SOLAR CART? It is important that we "keep up" with the project. I invite all who are interested and motivated to contact either me at jonesd@tcc.fl.edu or any of the Summer Officers:

Chair: Vernon Babich
Vice: Dexter Bennett
Sec: Jakarry Williams
