I don't have access to a library, so I ask:

Is your AJP article related to Zinsser's "Writing To Learn"?

J . Kalman and C .S. Kalman
Am. J. Phys 64,954-956(1996)


Course Dossier

In advance of the class read the assigned material for the next
week's class. Read each section very carefully trying to zero in on
