<p>This is by far the hardest class I have ever taken and it doesent help that my teachers have strong accents. Anybody who's taking it, how are you dealing with it, do you get it?</p>
<p>What sorts of things are they covering in the class?</p>
<p>Well we have done unit vectors, cartesian vectors, dot products, orthogonal projection, concurrent forces, free-body diagrams, and Guass-Jordan elimination. Thats the stuff im having trouble with its not all the stuff we have done. The other stuff I get its just that stuff im a little confused about. If you got any tricks or advice feel free to give any</p>
<p>Looks like that's basically engineering freshman physics/calc (with a little lin alg thrown in). </p>
<p>Try mathworld ( <a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/%5B/url%5D">http://mathworld.wolfram.com/</a> ) or SOS math ( <a href="http://www.sosmath.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.sosmath.com/</a> ) for the math parts. My class used Stuart for our calc text, and I found reading that to be very helpful. "Div, Grad, Curl, and All That: An informal text on vector calculus" might also be helpful if you guys get into vector calc. It's a paperback, and it's pretty light reading for a math text. </p>
<p>For physics we used Wolfson and Pasachov as our text. It did a pretty good job of explaining stuff.</p>
<p>If you have any specific questions, I could try to answer them.</p>
