Math
Handouts (pdf). Calculus is a co-requisite (rather than a
prerequisite) for the calculus-based physics course that I teach at
Saint Anselm College. The math handouts address calculus
topics that students encounter in the physics course before they see
them in their mathematics course. |

Average
with Error Spreadsheet
A spreadsheet set up to determine
the mean and standard deviation of a column of values entered by the
user and to display the distribution as a bar graph along with a scaled
gaussian curve determined from the mean and standard
deviation. The curve aids the user in judging whether the
data is part of a gaussian distribution. |

Gaussian
Error Propagation Spreadsheet
A spreadsheet set up to determine
the distribution (mean and standard deviation plus a histogram) for the
case of a function of one to six variables when each of the variables
is characterized by a guassian distribution of known mean and standard
deviation. |
