Physics 7 "underground" notes

Students in the physics 7 series often feel that there are no resources available if they do not get a concept in DL or from the block notes. These "underground" notes are available for you to study an alternative reference and more guidance for some of the more difficult concepts in the physics 7 series. If you find errors or find a concept confusing, please e-mail me at
dmartin at physics dot ucdavis dot edu
and I will see if I can come up with a better explanation. These notes are completely unofficial, and have nothing to do to with the teachers of physics 7.

The notes that are available are

Physics 7 and you: What Physics 7 is trying to do, what works and what doesn't.
Physics 7A: Atoms, heat and energy conservation
Physics 7B: Forces, torques, fluids and circuits
Physics 7C: Waves, optics and fields
I have also collected most of the applets and movies that I have written for the physics 7 series here.
