Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and (seemingly) random motion.

thursday: mech 1

saturday: mech 2 (analytical mechanics, might as well try it now as I've got 3 chances).

then I've got mm5, 2 lab course exams, optics, mm4 and EM.



Thermodynamics & mm3 in July because I want to/can do well on them.



I can postpone mech 2 to some day in between optics and mm4, but I doubt I'd achieve much by giving it more study time. Might as well go now and then again in June and/or Nov. if I fail. Seems to be the common choice with many classmates that are also scared shitless with the course.



The brighter students could barely solve any problem all course until the prof laid them out for us(with his notes glued to his face while he wrote them on the blackboard), so basically we're going have to play parrot and hope the 2 problems on the exam are all somewhat similar to what was done in class.



If that doesn't work I'll just draw a penis.

Maybe I could try finding the principle axis of inertia on freely rotating phallusoid. :redneck:
