EGM 3400 and EGM 3401 Dynamics, Spring 2005, Dr. L. Vu-Quoc
IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENTS:

  • Quotation: "It is too bad that it has to be mathematics, and that mathematics is hard for some people. It is reputed---I do not know if it is true---when one of the kings was trying to learn geometry from Euclid he complained that it was difficult. And Euclid said, 'there is no royal road to geometry'. And there is NO royal road (to Dynamics as well). Physicists cannot make a conversion to any other language. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in. She offers her information only in one form; we are not so unhumble as to demand that she change before we pay any attention." Richard P. Feynman, The Character of Physical Law, p.52. * Fri, 11 Feb 2005

  • Quotation: ``If the student had no opportunity in school to familiarize himself with the varying emotions of the struggle for the solution, his mathematical (dynamics) education failed at the most vital point.'' George Polya, How to solve it. Fri, 14 Jan 2005.
  • Exam dates and time: See Contents and schedule. Mon, 10 Jan 2005.
  • Academic Honesty: All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a student at the University of Florida and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this class and all others.
  • ASME ethics web page: Code of ethics, etc.
