1) Good Monday morning and happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! If you have not recently seen/heard the original August 28, 1963 (I was 4 month old) MLK Jr. speech, i suggest you watch it now. Here is the full 17 min audio of the speech and here is a shorter 6 min "highlight" video. This is without a doubt a beautiful and timely speech. A particular part resonates with me as a teacher...he notes, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

2) Heads-up...in lab this week we will meet in-person in CSB 377, the computer lab. I will expect that you have your laptops up and ready to run Excel, Igor, Mathematica...or you can us the computers in 377.

1) Today i would like for you to foucs your attention on Sec 1.5 and 1.6. These sections cover the "particle-wave duality" of matter and light. Although the following video is a bit old, it still does a great job of 1st describing how particles behave, then how waves behave and then explains the double slit experiment...

1) Welcome to 5G (5th Generation) cell service. This technology, which in part uses the C-Band (~4GHz) microwave technologies, may interfere with the altimeter on commercial airlines, hence thee has been a lot of concern over the launch. The cell phone companies have agreed to not use this frequency around airports for the time being...stay tuned.

2) We will meet in CSB 373 at 2 pm this week for lab. I am estimating that we will finish around 5-5:30pm.
