Rob's e2000 Notes

👨‍🏫 Solution Recordings, Formula Sheet, Condensed Slides, etc.

Solution Recordings

Reviewing problem set solutions soon after the due date is a great way to reinforce concepts and learn from your mistakes. When time permits, we review complete problem set solutions in the week after the due date. After the midterm, we also review its solutions to help you prepare for the final exam.

To Find a Solution Recording for a Specific Problem Set or the Midterm

  1. Note the date and time when we reviewed the solutions. You can find the date and time in the list, below.
  2. Open the recording for the relevant day. You can find recordings in the Zoom section of Canvas by clicking the "Published Recordings" button.
  3. To find the relevant place in the recording, you can cross-reference the start times with the clock that is typically in the lower right-hand corner of my screen. Alternatively, you can just scan through the recording to find when the problem set or midterm was visible on the screen.

Dates and times when we reviewed solutions

We review the solutions to each problem set after its due date. Information to help you find those recordings will be posted here as the semester progresses.

We reviewed solutions to:

Formula Sheet

Throughout the semester, I also build up a formula sheet that you are welcome to use during the exams.

I provide two versions of the formula sheet:

  1. There is a paper version that is available on my file share.
  2. There is an online version that is integrated into my website and is likely to be faster.

Some people find text formulas to be significantly faster on exams and homework than the typeset formulas, because you don’t have to open the equation editor. Therefore, I suggest you seriously consider using text formulas when doing the problem sets. You can read more about this option here. If you do decide to go with text formulas, use the text-based formula sheet rather than the simple formula sheet.

Condensed Slides

"Condensed slides" are slides that I (Rob) make out of Bruce's slides to use during my sections. These are slides that have been trimmed down to remove duplicates that Bruce uses to control the timing of his presentation. Because of the way that Bruce structures his Powerpoints, these "condensed" decks are sometimes only 1/2 the size of the original deck, making it easier to flip through them rapidly.

Students sometimes ask for access to these slides and say they find them very helpful. If you print the slides, they can save a lot of paper and ink! However, while care goes into the construction of these slides and past students have found them very convenient, I can't rule out that they may be incomplete or contain typos. As always, the lecture and the Instructor's original slides are your authoritative references regarding what you are responsible for.

You can download the printable slides from my file share.

(Slides are typically uploaded the day after the lecture.)
