This lecture is all about Newton's First (inertia), Second (F=ma) and Third (action=-reaction) Laws. He builds on past discussion of vector forces, moving on to decompose forces in the x and y directions. As the class comes to an end, Professor Lewin ends with a bizarre demo involving two identical strings, one suspending a mass, the other suspending from the mass. Which one breaks when you pull on the lower string, the upper string or t...more

Orthogonal Projections - Scalar and Vector Projections. In this video, we look at the idea of a scalar and vector projection of one vector onto another.
Parametric Equations of Line Passing Through a Point. In this video, I show how to find the parametric equations of a line that passes through a given point with a given direction vector.
Partial Derivatives of Vector-Valued Functions.
Showing that if a vector field is the gradient of a scalar field, then its line integral is path independent.
Using a position vector valued function to describe a curve or path.

This course serves as an introduction to the theory and practice behind many of today's communications systems. 6.450 forms the first of a two-course sequence on digital communication. The second class, 6.451, is offered in the spring. Topics covered include: digital communications at the block diagram level, data compression, Lempel-Ziv algorithm, scalar and vector quantization, sampling and aliasing, the Nyquist criterion, PAM and QAM m...more
Solving the second part to the projectile motion problem (with wind gust) using ordered set vector notation.
Determining the position vector as a function of time.
