| Dave's Physics Archives |
The links below provide tables with archival links to Dave Smith's weekly Puzzlers, weekly NetResearch projects, and weekly Laboratory exercises that have appeared on the University of the Virgin Islands WebPhysics page since the Fall 1997 semester. Entries are designated with a brief description and are in the chronological order that they appeared during the semester.
Although many entries have the same or similar descriptions, they may represent modified or alternative versions. Note that outside links contained within the NetResearch projects are not updated and some may no longer exist. (Of course, the latest versions will have the most up-to-date links.)
All written materials and graphics (unless otherwise noted) were created by Dave Smith. Feel free to use them in any educational capacity, provided you don't make any money from it. Happy Surfing!
