Caltech's Physics 237-2002
Gravitational
Waves
Course Materials
The course materials for Part A: Gravitational-Wave
Theory and Sources are ordered in accord with the Part A Course Outline; those for Part B: Gravitational-Wave Detection are ordered in
accord with the Part B Course Outline as
originally taught and not in accord with the (more logical) Part B Alternative Course Outline.
The DVD's are very long: between several hundred megabytes and about 2 gigabytes
each. The shorter ones will stream over a very fast link. All
can be downloaded.
DVD's containing the vidoes and all other course materials are available
via Interlibrary
Loan from the Caltech Library
(click on CLAS, then on Call Number, then enter QC179.T56 2002 ).
The videos are in Quick Time format. Real Player cannot handle them.
Free Quick Time Players can be downloaded here:
Quick Time for Macintosh
Quick Time for
Linux [well, really it's Crossover, but it does the job]
Quick Time for Windows
