Please Take Note on how to Take Notes... again!
Here is another email that I just received from a former student. Please take notice of the way he still does his notes!
"Hello Professor Santilli,

So learn from example and
STUDY HARD!
Ciao,

"Hello Professor Santilli,
I just wanted to say that you were right!
Now
in my upper division physics courses, my peers struggle with the vector
calculus. Often I find myself explaining to them what Stokes or Gauss
theorems mean and how to even apply them. Some didn't even knew what a
Jacobian was, which has now popped up a few times.
My
mathematical methods in physics courses have been a breeze. They are
meant to reinforce your vector calculus, differential equations and
linear algebra skills. Which, after having taken calculus 3 with you and
having watched your differential equations videos, these courses have
served more of like a review with an occasional new concept. I also got
into the habit of rewriting my notes for my physics courses and even
earn some money for uploading them to the disability resource center.
Thank you so much for teaching the way you do! It was truly an honor having had you as an instructor!
Thank you,
Juan"So learn from example and
