Notes and Announcements

120403 - I've made some revisions to the second problem set, and posted the revision to the link. I've also moved back the due date to next Tuesday.

120401 - Also, there were typos in equations on pages 8 and 22 of the lecture 14 notes on Newtonian flow. They're corrected now, so please download again.

120331 - Several of you pointed out that the posted notes for Lecture 13 were incorrect. Turns out I had two presentation sets with the same name, so of course I uploaded the wrong one. It should be correct now - sorry.

120226 - Several of you have pointed out that Problem Set 1 contains some issues consistent with inadequate proofreading - guilty as charged, and sorry about that. The link now will access a revised version of the problem, which should be less confusing.

120213 - I've gotten caught up on past lectures and posted the slides for tomorrow's lecture, too. Tomorroow's lecture will be one of the half dozen or so that are similar to lectures from ENAE 483/788D. If you've already taken one or the other of those classes and have already seen the costing lecture, feel free to find some other way to spend Valentine's Day tomorrow rather than sitting in class. (Unless you just want to, of course...)
