Homework Exam Answers


The lectures are available in Adobe PDF format.
However, I feel strongly that note-taking during lectures is an important part of the learning process.
The eye-seeing/hand-writing process is critical to long term memory.
I therefore encourage you to take notes thoroughly, even though I make the full lecture notes available.

Each of these files contains the whole lecture and are 0.5 to 4 MB in size, so be patient in downloading them.

Figures and slides herein are used without permission. These lectures are often taken from multiple sources, and of course most heavily from Wiley & Sons who have copyright to the 7th Edition of Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction by William D. Callister, Jr. Other sources are acknowledged, generally but not always, within the lecture notes. Of special note, I am indebted to Dr. Patrick Woodward of the Ohio State University, whose classes I wish I could have attended!

To steal from one source is plagiarism.
To steal from two sources is a term paper.
To steal from three sources is journal article.
To steal from four sources is a thesis.
To steal from five sources is a review.
To steal from six sources is teaching.
