Course Material

All course material including lecture notes and videos of the lectures can be found here.

For each of the lectures homework problems are assigned. They are fully interactive over the web and based on the WebCOSY system developed in the Beamtheory and Dynamical Systems Group at MSU.

The grade for the course is determined by the performance with the homework problems.
