You will need to have downloaded Acrobat Reader in order to deal with the Homework Solutions. If you are logged on through an ISU account, the Reader is available by using Netscape (which you probably are doing right now).
If you don't have the Reader, get it now.

Here are some of the Tables and Appendices in the back of your book, for those of you who are still waiting for their textbooks to arrive:

Table of Derivatives and Integrals
Conversion Factors
Mathematical Formulas

Since the textbooks have not yet arrived, you may either go to the Bookstore to get a photocopy of Ch. 3 and Ch. 4, or you may download them here (the files are rather long; to reduce download time, I used a lower resolution):

Chapter 3 of your text - Vectors
Chapter 4 of your text (1st 10 pages) - Motion in Two and Three Dimensions
