PHYS101 supplement

This page is a no-frills dumping ground for a bunch of content I created during the pandemic. The organization roughly follows the published schedule for this course, though not everything has content here. The goal is to provide an approximation to what we will have done in the lecture part of the course on each topic so that if a student must miss a class they might be able to recover.

The video content can be frustrating to use in a browser depending on the speed of your internet connection. It is generally more useful to download a video once you click on it and delete the file when you’re done using it than to try watching it in a browser window.
