- next semester: Pink Mirror and cracking life's code
- Recipe for making piezo-electric crystals
- drop-dead date for assignments: 12/20
- lecture on light and quantum mechanics
- review of class: what we didn't get to do
- let's break some glass!
- evaluations
Here are the remaining assignments. Please package them up and send them to me by Wednesday. You know the drill: illustrations can be a powerpoint presentation, five paragraphs of text, or a collection of links with descriptive text. Please identify all the variable quantities for Calculations. The speculation boils down to a falsifiable statement and a few ideas on the experiment you would run.
Contact me if you have any questions about this.
