Notes and Files

Here you will find some of my personal notes for previous courses I have taken, or just topics that I have explored by myself as well. All documents are CC 3.0 share alike unless otherwise noted. For an online interactive version of certain topics in physics and maths, see physicswithease.org, for chemistry, www.chemistrywithease.com

If you require .tex files for any documents below typesetted with LaTeX, please drop me a line and I will send it to you.

My Master’s thesis entitled: Improving the Accuracy of Flux Calculations in Ray Tracing Simulations for Soft X-Ray Beamlines can be downloaded via this link. A list of corrections can be found on the errata.

Checklists

After realising how woefully inadequate Pooley’s checklists (and by extension, AFE’s checklist) is, I decided to compile some commonly used checklists directly from the Pilot Operating Handbook for the plane I fly. (PA28-161 Warrior II). I compiled these checklists with $\LaTeX$, and I would print off a copy each time I fly as I tend to write little checkmarks on them. The checklists are provided as is and with all faults, use at your own risk. When in doubt, consult your instructor and the POH for your particular aircraft!
