What to Understand for the Final Exam
|
Although the chapters are fairly transparent,
there are a few idiosyncrasies of which you should be aware.
First, if you are using this book to prepare
for the C-level Advanced Placement test, please note that all of the
chapters listed cover AP required curriculum except the Wave Motion Chapter. Wave
motion is not something the AP test includes. I included the
topic in my book because it is fun, because it has great demonstration
possibilities (this isn't much help for you, but my students have
always gotten a kick out of them), and because the book is not solely
for the use of AP-driven students. (If you think this is
inappropriate, look at the end of Volume II--it has chapters on AC
Circuits, Semiconductors and Radios, and Relativity . . . all FUN but
all completely irrelevant
as far as the AP folks are concerned.)
Second, any letter used
to depict a vector in the book will not be shown with an arrow over it. Rather,
vectors are denoted in bold face. I
realize this is unconventional, but I didn't have access to overhead arrows when
I first wrote the book, so I had to improvise.
The font change I had to make when I made the pdf's
for the individual chapters was relatively easy, but the new font did not
recognize the third party fonts I originally used for symbols (implies
signs, summation signs, etc.) and Greek letters (I used this third
party font when I wrote the book because Word's
Equation Editor hadn't yet been incorporated into that program). The
consequence was that after I switched fonts, I had to go back and hand paste-in
Equation Editor versions of each and every symbol and Greek letter in the entire
book. I would like to believe I got all of the little devils, but
if I didn't I
hope the errant miscreants will be obvious and easily hand altered by you.
I do
apologize
for
the
hassle. I
really did try to clean things up.
Fourth, the borders on the 1500 or so hand-created
graphs in the book are particularly light because 10% shading was the
appropriate setting for them in the original document, given the
characteristics of my old printer. This setting is all wrong for
modern printers. What this means is that your downloaded
documents will in all probability look OK on your screen, but will have
washed out graphics borders when printed. I didn't do this on
purpose. Then, again, who knows? It may just motivate you
to actually buy a hard copy of the book. In that form, the
borders look just fine.
