Grading: Two in-class exams, two take-homes, no final. Or you can merely solve this question about the Navier-Stokes Equations.
That will earn you an A in 705. Oh yes, also a million bucks. ( Here's 7 ways to do that. )

HOMEWORK.

Fri Oct 25 in lieu of regular lecture at 12:05pm in 1800 Engineering Hall: Edward Maginn, Notre Dame, "A molecular simulation study of dilute gas wall slip in nanopores"
I'll be giving a seminar in Kyoto University by then (actually I'll be sleeping in Kyoto at that time), following this Tokyo Symposium .
Please write clean notes of the Youngsuk Lee lectures. You will need to hand in a copy of your notes filled in and polished by you so they are readable and understandable.
