You can access the Week 3 Classical Mechanics Reading Response here:

• Part 1 due Mon. Oct. 10 by 9am
• Part 2 due Thu. Oct. 13 by 9am

Your answers should be brief! Otherwise this will take hours to complete. Type up your answers in a separate text file that you should save with a useful file name, then copy and paste those answers into the text boxes in the form. Please avoid fancy formatting. As discussed in class, the Reading Response is split into 2 parts. The questions generally follow this form:

1. Big Concept: For the relevant sections, what are the main physics concepts/ideas? Make sure to also note which (if any) physics concepts are new to you. (Try to just use words here and minimize invoking equations, but don’t stress if you find it more convenient to use or refer to an equation.)
2. Big Math: For these sections, what are the major mathematical tools/formulas? Make sure to also note which (if any) math concepts or methods are new to you. Here, feel free to refer to equation numbers or page numbers, and do your best to convey the meaning of the equations in everyday language. Again, don’t stress if you need to be technical. You should make sure that you have the important equations clearly written out and explained in your notes, though.
3. Examples: As specifically as you can, describe any challenges you had in understanding the Examples in these sections.
4. Questions: Describe in detail your questions/confusions from these sections.
