SPH3U Course Handouts
Here you will find the daily class handouts, including assignments and labs. If you are looking for the class notes, please go to the Class Notes page. All pages will open in a new window.
Handouts will be available online at the beginning of the month for the following month. They are listed by unit. Not all handouts listed here may be assigned, and sometimes a (new) handout is not listed ahead of time. Every effort will be made to update the list monthly. Note: Sometimes I get overzealous in my scanning and make a file too large to upload, which means I need to rescan it. That is what is usually happening when a handout is listed but gives a 404 error. Be patient, and remind me to rescan them.Kinematics
