Hi Aileen,
I appreciate your comments and absolutely agree with you about not
going over the students' heads. With regard to relativity, I have
developed a nice graphical way of teaching the subject that freshmen
seem to find accessible. You may be right that doing things like
setting c = 1 would be counter-productive. However, I do think that
freshmen can be reached with this general stream of things. I
should get a chance to see if I am right in the Fall -- we are
talking about a trial section using this approach.
Let me show you how I teach relativity sometime.
Dave
