Today, we have really only two tasks:
(1) review for the exam on Thursday
(2) get started on our projectile guidance system
The first part will basically be problem solving - working out some of the current homework problems, and a few extras.
The second part will largely be learning how to numerically calculate ballistic trajectories in the presence of resistive forces, i.e., drag. We have to get this out of the way before we start building and measuring things. Part of this will also include organization - forming teams and dividing tasks, defining the scope and details of our little ballistics project.
Finally: in light of the exam on Thursday, there will be no recitation this Friday. (Also, I am out of town on Friday.)
