UNIVERSITY LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA We hope you'll find this course interesting. To make your learning a b it easier, many different resources will be presented throughout the course. Some of these resources, such as your textbook, videocassettes, and laser videodiscs, will be flagged with the following icons: When you see these icons, follow the instructions in y our module booklet and go to the appropriate resource. One important resource that you'll be using all the time is your notebook. There are no response lines to write on in many of the questions asked in the Student Module Booklet of this course. This means that you will need to have lined paper handy at all times on which to answer the questions. It's probably a g ood idea if y ou keep your answer pages in a notebook or binder so that they do not get lost and they are easier to refer to when reviewing or studying. Read all the questions carefully and answer them as completely as possible. Then check your answers in the Appendix. It i s a lso important that you work through the module activities thoroughly before attempting the questions in the Assignment Booklet. This will help you to achieve a greater degree of success in y our studies. Good Luck! Course Overview This course contains nine modules. The first two modules develop the conservation laws of energy and momentum. The conservation of energy is at the heart of the entire course. Modules 3 t hrough 9 b uild one upon the other and incorporate the main ideas from the preceding modules. The module you are working in is highlighted in a d arker colour.
