Finally the ‘Advanced’ section of a chapter includes calculus at both the introductory and advanced level (of vector calculus) along with differential equations and some use of linear algebra and matrix theory along with both the descriptive and mathematical sections. Such a course naturally includes the descriptive level as well. Such a course is customary for the health and biological sciences. The ‘Mathematical’ part covers introductory physics at the level of algebra and trig but without calculus.
The ‘Descriptive’ part covers the non-mathematical parts that might be covered in a course such as ‘Physical Science’ or ‘Physics in the Arts’ that is generally devoid of algebra and trigonometry. Each chapter or topic is further divided into three areas: (1) Descriptive, (2) Mathematical, and (3) Advanced. I have separated each chapter or topic into a separate page thus allowing one to print these pages from the web for personal use with space for taking ones own notes during lecture and later with the text in hand. These notes are the skeletal framework upon which one can attach the rest of the material. My objective is to provide the student with an outline of the very essentials which are to serve as a guide to my lectures and any of the very well written texts that are available and to keep the focus on the core ideas as it is easy for a student to become overwhelmed or lost in the more than one thousand page texts and the massive information that is conveyed in the lectures. These notes have been compiled in order to summarize the core concepts, definitions, terms, equations, and relationships for an introductory Physics course.

The Engineering team is in charge of the design, analysis and development of the 2U cube-structure that will house the experiment and will be capable of withstanding the forces experienced during the suborbital mission.ĮRAU's First Suborbital Payload for Cell Research© Joseph E. The data collected includes accelerations in the X, Y, and Z directions, temperature, and relative humidity. This team is developing operational procedures and data collection guidelines for the different mission phases.
The first team, Operations team, is conducting the physical testing of the NanoLab by measuring the survivability of the payload under extreme conditions of the suborbital flight. This NanoLab experiment, exposed to microgravity, will consist of T-cells primed with different cytokines that may help us expand our understanding of future treatments for terminal diseases. Commercial Space Operations and Aerospace Engineering students from Embry-Riddle are working with students and faculty from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and Medical University of South Carolina to launch a suborbital payload onboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket during the summer of 2017.
