Bring your computer

Just a reminder. If you don't read the lab info before lab, it it just going to be that more confusing in class. This next lab uses a spreadsheet to solve a basic kinematics problem. Actually, you could probably do everything you need to do BEFORE even coming to lab if you wanted.

Since we are going use a spreadsheet, if you have a computer you would like to bring, that would be good. I will have plenty of computers to use, so you don't need one. If you do bring a computer and you don't have a spreadsheet installed, I can recommend Open Office - it's free.

For those of you that like to see stuff, here is a video I made of creating a calculation in a spreadsheet.



If you want to watch this, do it before class. First, the computers I have don't play this too well (they are old). Second, I hate hearing myself in the video.
