Well, it's about darned time!

I am finally able to utilize in my classical mechanics class, things I learned in mechanical engineering school. That only took five weeks. Seriously, a master's degree in mechanical engineering, and struggling with classical mechanics! Anyway, so I've looked at our next two weeks of material. Transformation matrices? Nailed (two semesters of how to calculate forces in orthogonal composites at Santa Clara University). Properties of plane cross sections (i.e., moments of inertia)? Been there, done that, gotten the T-shirt (a combined total of two years of beam theory, at Berkeley and SCU).

Yup. My outlook on classical mechanics is improving.
