Fall 2010 Semester

If you are reading this blog then you're probably enrolled in Physics of Animation (Art / Physics 123) at San Jose State. I will be using this blog primarily to post examples to help you with your homework assignments, which you'll be posting on blogs of your own. 


The earlier posts on this blog are from the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 semesters; the course this semester will be similar but not exactly the same. Nevertheless, the postings from previous semesters will give you a general idea of the kinds of assignments you'll be doing. You will also find it useful to look at the blogs of students who took the course in the past two semesters. All the information and links you'll need about the course is found on the course website, http://artphysics123.pbworks.com/. 

Your first homework assignment for the course will be to set up a blog of your own, which you'll use to post homework assignments and term papers. You'll find more info on this first homework assignment here.

See you in class!   Alej Garcia
