Read the policies below, then click on one of the flow chart symbols in the figure to take you to the listed materials. Or, click here to open a tabular form of the site map. Clicking on the title of the module takes to the "start" of the materials - the Objectives/Prerequisites/Technology page.

Policies - Please Read Carefully before Accessing Materials Materials for the Science of Information Technology are provided on-line, at no cost to the user, in the hope of improving the relevance of introductory physics courses and of increasing the level of scientific literacy of the pubic. In exchange for this availability, the developers respectfully request your compliance with the following guidelines for use:

Instructor's materials are available upon request. Under no circumstances are Instructors' materials to be distributed to non-instructors, nor are non-instructors to be given access to them. These resources are provided to facilitate the use of these materials in a variety of classroom settings, not to give students a way to check their answers against the author's.
Materials are copyrighted. If you desire to reproduce, either electronically or on paper, these materials, please contact the author for permission.
Any use of these materials should include a reference to the ScIT homepage: http://www.rpi.edu/dept/phys/ScIT.
If you make use of these materials, please let us know by emailing the author. Include your name, your position (teacher, student, random web browser), the context in which you used these material, and whether you are willing to provide more detailed feedback. Such information can help drive, and guide, futher development. You may ask to be placed on the ScIT mailing list at the same time.
