+<h1>Repurposing Racing Wheel Pedals</h1>
+<p>I have a Logitech G27 I don't use much. I wondered if I could use it for anything else. I could. </p>
+
+<h2> The Pinout of the Connector </h2>
+
+<p>The first thing I had to do was figure out what each pin did on the DE-9 connector, and which
+ones I should care about.
+This was done easily after I took off the top plastic casing thing by poking the three 100k Ohm
+potentiometers and the connector in the right places at the right times:

+<table id="pinout_table">
+	<tr> <th>pin</th> <th>function</th></tr>
+	<tr> <td>1,4</td> <td>ground</td></tr>
+	<tr> <td>6</td> <td>clutch pedal</td></tr>
+	<tr> <td>7</td> <td>brake pedal</td></tr>
+	<tr> <td>8</td> <td>accelerator pedal</td></tr>
+	<tr> <td>9</td> <td>voltage in</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<h2> Reading the Values of the Pots </h2>
+
+I'm using an Arduino to read the pots and then do something with the values.
+I very dirtily wired pin 4 on the pedals to GND on a Arduino Uno, pin 9 to 5V, and
+pins 6,7,8 to A0, A1, and A2.
+I used a basic sketch to check that everything is good:
+
+<details>
+	<summary> Show/hide test_sketch.ino </summary>
+<pre><code> void setup() {
+	Serial.begin(9600);
+}
+
+void loop() {
+	Serial.println(analogRead(A2));
+	delay(20);
+}
+</code></pre>
+</details>
+
+I noticed that the minimum and maximum values read by the Uno were quite far off 0 and 1024, like
+they should be, and voltage was being lost on the way to and from the potentiometers.
+Since the pedals have to be calibrated every time you plug them in, I assume this is normal and
+spat out this code: 
+
+<details>
+	<summary> Show/hide sketch_aug02a.ino </summary>
+<pre><code>// sensor pins
+int sa = A0;
+int sb = A1;
+int sc = A2;
+
+// minimum values detected by the sensors
+int mina = 1025;
+int minb = 1025;
+int minc = 1025;
+
+// maximum values detected by the sensors
+int maxa = 512;
+int maxb = 512;
+int maxc = 512;
+
+// raw values of the sensors
+int rva, rvb, rvc;
+
+// calculated values of the sensors (between 0 and 1, this is the value sent to computer)
+float cva, cvb, cvc;
+
+void setup() {
+	Serial.begin(9600);
+}
+
+void loop() {
+	rva = analogRead(sa);
+	rvb = analogRead(sb);
+	rvc = analogRead(sc);
+
+	if (rva &lt; mina) mina = rva;
+	if (rvb &lt; minb) minb = rvb;
+	if (rvc &lt; minc) minc = rvc;
+
+	if (rva &gt; maxa) maxa = rva;
+	if (rvb &gt; maxb) maxb = rvb;
+	if (rvc &gt; maxc) maxc = rvc;
+
+	cva = (float)(rva-mina)/(float)(maxa-mina);
+	cvb = (float)(rvb-minb)/(float)(maxb-minb);
+	cvc = (float)(rvc-minc)/(float)(maxc-minc);
+
+	Serial.print('[');
+	Serial.print(cva); Serial.print(',');
+	Serial.print(cvb); Serial.print(',');
+	Serial.print(cvc);
+	Serial.print(']');
+	Serial.println();
+	delay(20); 
+}
+</code></pre>
+</details>
+
+<h2> Actually Making the Numbers Do Something </h2>
+
+This is where you can make the pedals do fun things.
+I reworked another piece of code I wrote to do a similar thing to quickly create a script that
+reads the values sent by the Arduino, and then simulate pressing a key combination.
+The only thing I've done with this is set push-to-talk to ctrl-shift-alt-1.
+I don't know what else I could use this for, maybe temporarily muting particular things, like music.

+# last.fm bookmarklets
+
+last.fm doesn't let you see how many scrobbled you've made in one day particularly easily.
+Here is a bookmarklet to solve that.
+
+<label for="days"> Number of days to view: </label>
+<input type="number" value="1" id="days" placeholder="Days"/><br><br>
+<label for="offset"> Offset (e.g. 0 to include today, 7 to look at last week): </label>
+<input type="number" value="0" id="offset" placeholder="Offset (Days)" /><br><br>
+<label for="username"> last.fm username </label>
+<input type="text" value="" id="username" placeholder="Username" /><br><br>
+<input type="button" id="button" value="Generate bookmarklet"><br>
+
+<p><a style="display: none" href="" id="scriptLink">Bookmark this link</a></p>
+
+When you press generate bookmarklet, the values `OFFSET`, `DAYS`, `USERNAME` will be
+subsituted and put into the link above.

+# Eventbridge Rule (formerly Cloudwatch Rule) Does Not Invoke Lambda When Configured Through Ansible
+
+## Problem
+
+After creating an Eventbridge rule to run a Lambda function with the Ansible module
+[`amazon.aws.cloudwatchevent_rule`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/aws/cloudwatchevent_rule_module.html),
+the rule does not run Lambda function when it should:
+
+```yaml
+- name: "Create lambda function"
+  register: create_lambda
+  amazon.aws.lambda:
+    region: "{{ aws_ec2_region }}"
+    description: "My Lambda function"
+    name: "{{ lambda_name }}"
+    role: "{{ iam_role.iam_role.arn }}"
+    state: "present"
+    timeout: 120
+    vpc_security_group_ids: "{{ sec_group.group_id }}"
+    vpc_subnet_ids: "{{ subnet_ids }}"
+    image_uri: "{{ ecr.repository.repositoryUri }}:latest"
+- name: "Schedule my Lambda function"
+  register: lambda_schedule_rule
+  amazon.aws.cloudwatchevent_rule:
+    name: "a_unique_rule_name"
+    region: "{{ aws_ec2_region }}"
+    schedule_expression: "rate(1 minute)"
+    state: "present"
+    targets:
+      - arn: "{{ create_lambda.configuration.function_arn }}"
+        id: "a_unique_id"
+        input: "{{ eventbridge_rule_lambda_event_input }}"
+```
+
+Even though creating a seemingly identical setup through the AWS console works fine.
+
+## Cause
+
+The Eventbridge rule is not allowed to invoke this Lambda, as it is not in the Lambda's policy.
+
+## Solution
+
+Use the
+[`amazon.aws.lambda_policy`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/aws/lambda_policy_module.html)
+module to allow the Eventbridge rule to invoke the Lambda.
+Note that, if specifying the Lambda function name to `function_name` (as opposed to the ARN of the
+Lambda function), you must specify `version` or otherwise the Lambda function still won't be run!
+
+
+```yaml
+- name: "Allow Eventbridge (Cloudwatch) Rules to invoke lambda"
+  amazon.aws.lambda_policy:
+    action: "lambda:InvokeFunction"
+    function_name: "{{ lambda_name }}"
+    state: "present"
+    statement_id: "a_unique_statement_id"
+    region: "{{ aws_ec2_region }}"
+    principal: "events.amazonaws.com"
+    source_arn: "{{ lambda_schedule_rule.rule.arn }}"
+    version: "{{ create_lambda.configuration.version }}"
+```
+
+
+Solution found thanks to @david-kretch's answer to the same question at
+<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45282939/cloudwatch-event-rule-creation-via-ansible-succeeds-but-not-invoked>.

-## Newton's Laws
-
-1.  Remains at constant velocity unless acted on by external force
-
-2.  Sum of forces on body is equal to mass of body multiplied by
-    acceleration
-
-    > 1st Law is a special case of 2nd
-
-3.  When one body exerts a force on another, 2nd body exerts force
-    simultaneously of equal magnitude and opposite direction
-
-## Equilibrium
-
--   Body is in equilibrium if sum of all forces and moments acting on
-    body are 0
-
-### Example
-
-Determine force $F$ and $x$ so that the body is in equilibrium.
-
-![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:14:41,378027532+01:00.png)
-
-1.  Check horizontal equilibrium
-
-    $\sum{F_x} = 0$
-
-2.  Check vertical equilibrium
-
-    $\sum{F_y} = 8 - 8 + F = 0$
-
-    $F = 2$
-
-3.  Take moments about any point
-
-    $\sum{M(A)} = 8\times{}2 - F(2+x) = 0$
-
-    $F(2+x) = 16)$
-
-    $x = 6$
-
-## Free Body Diagrams
-
-A free body diagram is a diagram of a single (free) body which shows all
-the external forces acting on the body.
-
-Where there are several bodies or subcomponents interacting as a complex
-system, each body is drawn separately:
-
-![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:23:03,892292648+01:00.png)
-
-## Friction
-
--   Arises between rough surfaces and always acts at right angles to the
-    normal reaction force ($R$) in the direction to resist motion.
--   The maximum value of friction $F$ is $F_{max} = \mu{}R$, where
-    $\mu{}$ is the friction coefficient
--   $F_{max}$ is also known as the point of slip
-
-## Reactions at Supports
-
-There are three kinds of supports frequently encountered in engineering
-problems:
-
-![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:41:56,080077960+01:00.png)
-
-## Principle of Force Transmissibility
-
-A force can be move dalong line of action without affecting equilibrium
-of the body which it acts on:
-
-![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:43:04,689667620+01:00.png)
-
-This principle can be useful in determining moments.
-
-## Two-Force Bodies
-
--   If a body has only 2 forces, then the forces must be collinear,

--   If a body in equilibrium has only three forces acting on it, then
-    the lines of actions must go through one point:

-
--   The forces must form a closed triangle ($\sum{F} = 0$)

-## 1A Reading Notes
-
-### Classification of Energy-Related Materials
-
-- Passive materials---do not take part in energy conversion e.g. structures in pipelines, turbine
-  blades, oil drills
-- Active materials---directly take part in energy conversion e.g. solar cells, batteries, catalysts,
-  superconducting magnests
-
-- The material and chemical problems for conventional energy systems are mostly well understood and
-  usually associated wit structural and mechanical properties or long standing chemical effects like
-  corrosion:
-
-    - fossil fuels
-    - hydroelectric
-    - oil from shale and tar
-    - sands
-    - coal gasification
-    - liquefaction
-    - geothermal energy
-    - wind power
-    - bomass conversion
-    - solar cells
-    - nuclear reactors
-
-### Applications of Energy-Related Materials
-
-#### High Temperature Materials (and Theoretical Thermodynamic Efficiency)
-
-- Thermodynamics indicated that the higher the temperature, the greater the efficiency of heat to
-work:
-
-  $$ \frac{ T_{high} - T_{low} }{ T_{high} } $$ where $T$ is in kelvin
-
-- The first steam engines were only 1% efficient, while modern steam engines are 35% efficient
-  primarily due to improved high-temperature materials.
-- Early engines made from cast iron while modern engines made from alloys containing nickel,
-  molybdenum, chromium, and silicon, which don't fail at temperature above 540 \textdegree{}C
-- Modern combustion engines are nearing the limits of metals so new materials that can function
-  at even higher temperatures must be found--- particularly intermetallic compounds and ceramics are
-  being developed
-
-## Types of Stainless Steel
-
-- Type 304---common; iron, carbon, nickel, and chromium
-- Type 316---expensive; iron, carbon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum

-## Properties of the Classes
-
-### Metals
-
-- Ductile (yields before fracture)
-- High UFS (Ultimate Fracture Stress) in tension and compression
-- Hard
-- Tough
-- High melting point
-- High electric and thermal conductivity
-
-### Ceramics and Glasses
-
-- Brittle --- elastic to failure, no yield
-- Hard (harder than metals)
-- Low UFS under tension
-- High UFS under compression
-- Not tough
-- High melting points
-- Do not burn as oxide ceramics are already oxides
-- Chemically resistant
-- Poor thermal and electric conductivity
-- Wide range of magnetic and dielectric behaviours
-
-### Polymers
-
-- Organic---as in organic chemistry (i.e. carbon based)
-- Ductile 
-- Low UFS in tension and compression
-- Not hard
-- Reasonably tough
-- Low threshold temperature to charring and combustion in air or pure oxygen
-- Low electrical and thermal conductivity
-
-  - There are some electrically conductive polymers 
-
-### Composites
-
-- Composed of 2 or more materials on any scale from atomic to mm scale to produce properties that
-  cannot be obtained in a single material
-
-  - Larger scale mixes of materials may be called 'multimaterial'
-
-- Material propertes depends on what its made of
-
-## Terms
-
-### Organic vs Inorganic Materials
-
-- Organic materials are carbon based
-- From chemistry, organic compounds are ones with a C-H bond
-- Inorganic compounds do not contain the C-H bond
-
-### Crystalline vs Non-Crystalline Materials
-
-- Most things are crystalline
-
-  - Ice
-  - Sugar
-  - Salt
-  - Metals
-  - Ceramics
-
-- Glasses are non-crystalline
-
-## Material Properties
-
-### Density
-
-$$\rho = \frac m v$$
-
-- Density if quoted at STP (standard temperature and pressure---$298$ K and $1.013\times 10^5$ Pa)
-- Metals, ceramics, and glasses are high density materials
-- Polymers are low density
-- Composites span a wide range of density as it depends on the materials it is composed of
-
-  e.g. composites with a metal matrix will have a much higher density than those with a polymer
-  matrix
-
-### Melting Points
-
-- Measured at standard pressure and in an intert atmosphere (e.g. with Nitrogen, Argon, etc)
-
-  - Diamond and graphite will survive up to 4000 \textdegree{}C in an inert atmosphere but would
-    burn at around 1000 \textdegree{}C in oxygen
-
-- High melting points -> high chemical bond strength
-
-### Corrosion
-
-- It's not just metals that corrode
-
-- Polymers
-
-  - UV degradation
-  - Water absorption can occur in degraded polymers
-
-- Glass
-
-  - Leaching
-  - Sodium ions can leave the glass when covered in water. If the water stays, the high pH water
-    can damage the class

-# Lecture 1 // Properties of Fluids (2021-10-06)
-
-## What is a Fluid?
-
-- A fluid may be liquid, vapor, or gas
-- No permanent shape
-- Consists of atoms in random motion and continual collision
-- Easy to deform
-- Liquids have fixed volume, gasses fill up container
-- **A fluid is a substance for wich a shear stress tends to produce unlimited, continuous
-  deformation**
-
-## Shear Forces
-
-- For a solid, application of shear stress causes a deformation which, if not too great (elastic),
-  is not permanent and solid regains original positon
-- For a fluid, continuious deformation takes place as the molecules slide over each other until the
-  force is removed
-- **A fluid is a substance for wich a shear stress tends to produce unlimited, continuous
-  deformation**
-
-## Density
-
-- Density: $$ \rho = \frac m V $$
-- Specific Density: $$ v = \frac 1 \rho $$
-
-### Obtaining Density
-
-- Find mass of a given volume or volume of a given mass
-- This gives average density and assumes density is the same throughout
-
-  - This is not always the case (like in chocolate chip ice cream)
-  - Bulk density is often used to refer to average density
-
-### Engineering Density
-
-- Matter is not continuous on molecular scale
-- For fluids in constant motion, we take a time average
-- For most practical purposes, matter is considered to be homogenous and time averaged
-
-## Pressure
-
-- Pressure is a scalar quantity
-- Gases cannot sustain tensile stress, liquids a negligible amount
-
-- There is a certain amount of energy associated with the random continuous motion of the molecules
-- Higher pressure fluids tend to have more energy in their molecules
-
-### How Does Molecular Motion Create Force?
-
-- When molecules interact with each other, there is no net force
-- When they interact with walls, there is a resultant force perpendicular to the surface
-- Pressure caused my molecule: $$ p = \frac {\delta{}F}{\delta{}A} $$
-- If we want total force, we have to add them all up
-- $$ F = \int \mathrm{d}F = \int p\, \mathrm{d}A $$
-
-  - If pressure is constant, then this integrates to $$ F = pA $$
-  - These equations can be used if pressure is constant of average value is appropriate
-  - For many cases in fluids pressure is not constant
-
-### Pressure Variation in a Static Fluid
-
-- A fluid at rest has constant pressure horizontally
-- That's why liquid surfaces are flat
-- But fluids at rest do have a vertical gradient, where lower parts have higher presure 
-
-### How Does Pressure Vary with Depth?
-
-![From UoN MMME1048 Fluid Mechanics Notes](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-06T10:51:51,499044519+01:00.png)
-
-Let fluid pressure be p at height $z$, and $p + \delta p$ at $z + \delta z$.
-
-Force $F_z$ acts upwards to support the fluid, countering pressure $p$.
-
-Force $F_z + \delta F_z$acts downwards to counter pressure $p + \delta p$ and comes from the weight
-of the liquid above.
-
-Now:
-
-\begin{align*}
-F_z &= p\delta x\delta y \\
-F_z + \delta F_z &= (p + \delta p) \delta x \delta y \\
-\therefore \delta F_z &= \delta p(\delta x\delta y)
-\end{align*}
-
-Resolving forces in z direction:
-
-\begin{align*}
-F_z - (F_z + \delta F_z) - g\delta m &= 0 \\
-\text{but } \delta m &= \rho\delta x\delta y\delta z \\
-\therefore -\delta p(\delta x\delta y) &= g\rho(\delta x\delta y\delta z) \\
-\text{or } \frac{\delta p}{\delta z} &= -\rho g \\
-\text{as } \delta z \rightarrow 0,\, \frac{\delta p}{\delta z} &\rightarrow \frac{dp}{dz}\\
-\therefore \frac{dp}{dz} &= -\rho g\\
-\Delta p &= \rho g\Delta z
-\end{align*}
-
-The equation applies for any fluid.
-The -ve sign indicates that as $z$, height, increases, $p$, pressure, decreases.
-
-### Absolute and Gauge Pressure
-
-- Absolute Pressure is measured relative to zero (a vacuum)
-- Guage pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure
-
-  - Often used in industry
-
-- If abs. pressure = 3 bar and atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, then gauge pressure = 2 bar
-- Atmospheric pressure changes with altitude
-
-## Compressibility
-
-- All fluids are compressible, especially gasses
-- Most liquids can be considered **incompressible** most of the time (and will be in MMME1048, but
-  may not be in future modules)
-
-## Surface Tension
-
-- In a liquid, molecules are held together by molecular attraction
-- At a boundry between two fluids this creates "surface tension"
-- Surface tension usually has the symbol $$\gamma$$
-
-## Ideal Gas
-
-- No real gas is perfect, although many are similar
-- We define a specific gas constant to allow us to analyse the behaviour of a specific gas:
-
-  $$ R = \frac {\tilde R}{\tilde m} $$
-
-  (Universal Gas Constant / molar mass of gas)
-
-- Perfect gas law
-
-  $$pV=mRT$$
-
-  or
-
-  $$ p = \rho RT$$
-
-  - Pressure always in Pa
-  - Temperature always in K
-
-## Units and Dimentional Analysis
-
-- It is usually better to use SI units
-- If in doubt, DA can be useful to check that your answer makes sense
-
-# Lecture 2 // Manometers (2021-10-13)
-
-![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-13T09:09:32,037006075+01:00.png)
-
-$$p_{1,gauge} = \rho g(z_2-z_1)$$
-
-- Manometers work on the principle that pressure along any horizontal plane through a continuous
-  fluid is constant
-- Manometers can be used to measure the pressure of a gas, vapour, or liquid
-- Manometers can measure higher pressures than a piezometer
-- Manometer fluid and working should be immiscible (don't mix)

-p_1-p_{at} &= g(\rho_2\Delta z_2 - \rho_1\Delta z_1) \\
-p_{1,gauge} &= g(\rho_2\Delta z_2 - \rho_1\Delta z_1)

-\rho_1 &= density\,of\,fluid\,1 \\
-\rho_2 &= density\,of\,fluid\,2

-$$p_A = p_1 + \rho_wg(z_C-z_A)$$
-
-Right hand side:
-
-$$p_B = p_2 + \rho_wg(z_C-z_B)$$
-
-Right hand manometer fluid:

-$$p_{A'} = p_B + \rho_mg(z_B - z_a)$$
-
-\begin{align*}
-p_{A'} &= p_2 + \rho_mg(z_C - z_B) + \rho_mg(z_B - zA)\\
-       &= p_2 + \rho_mg(z_C - z_B) + \rho_mg\Delta z \\
-\\
-p_A &= p_{A'} \\
-p_1 + \rho_wg(z_C-z_A) &= p_2 + \rho_mg(z_C - z_B) + \rho_mg\Delta z \\
-p_1 - p_2 &= \rho_wg(z_C-z_B-z_C+z_A) + \rho_mg\Delta z \\
-&= \rho_wg(z_A-z_B) + \rho_mg\Delta z \\
-&= -\rho_wg\Delta z + \rho_mg\Delta z

+# Calculus of One Variable Functions
+
+## Key Terms
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Function
+
+A function is a rule that assigns a **unique** value $f(x)$ to each value $x$ in a given *domain*.
+
+</summary>
+
+The set of value taken by $f(x)$ when $x$ takes all possible value in the domain is the *range* of
+$f(x)$.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Rational Functions
+
+A function of the type
+
+$$ \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} $$
+
+</summary>
+
+where $f$ and $g$ are polynomials, is called a rational function.
+
+Its range has to exclude all those values of $x$ where $g(x) = 0$.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Inverse Functions
+
+Consider the function $f(x) = y$.
+If $f$ is such that for each $y$ in the range there is exactly one $x$ in the domain,
+we can define the inverse $f^{-1}$ as:
+
+$$f^{-1}(y) = f^{-1}(f(x)) = x$$
+
+</summary>
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Limits
+
+Consider the following:
+
+$$f(x) = \frac{\sin x}{x}$$
+
+The value of the function can be easily calculated when $x \neq 0$, but when $x=0$, we get the
+expression $\frac{\sin 0 }{0}$.
+However, when we evaluate $f(x)$ for values that approach 0, those values of $f(x)$ approach 1.
+
+This suggests defining the limit of a function
+
+$$\lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x)$$
+
+to be the limiting value, if it exists, of $f(x)$ as $x$ gets approaches $a$.
+
+</summary>
+
+#### Limits from Above and Below
+
+Sometimes approaching 0 with small positive values of $x$ gives you a different limit from
+approaching with small negative values of $x$.
+
+The limit you get from approaching 0 with positive values is known as the limit from above:
+
+$$\lim_{x \rightarrow a^+} f(x)$$
+
+and with negative values is known as the limit from below:
+
+$$\lim_{x \rightarrow a^-} f(x)$$
+
+If the two limits are equal, we simply refer to the *limit*.
+
+
+</details>
+
+## Important Functions
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Exponential Functions
+
+$$f(x) = e^x = \exp x$$
+
+</summary>
+
+It can also be written as an infinite series:
+
+$$\exp x = e^x = 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + ...$$
+
+The two important limits to know are:
+
+- as $x \rightarrow + \infty$, $\exp x \rightarrow +\infty$ ($e^x \rightarrow +\infty$)
+- as $x \rightarrow -\infty$, $\exp x \rightarrow 0$ ($e^x \rightarrow 0$)
+
+Note that $e^x > 0$ for all real values of $x$.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Hyperbolic Functions (sinh and cosh)
+
+The hyperbolic sine ($\sinh$) and hyperbolic cosine function ($\cosh$) are defined by:
+
+$$\sinh x = \frac 1 2 (e^x - e^{-x}) \text{ and } \cosh x = \frac 1 2 (e^x + e^{-x})$$
+$$\tanh = \frac{\sinh x}{\cosh x}$$
+
+</summary>
+
+![[Fylwind at English Wikipedia, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sinh_cosh_tanh.svg)](./images/Sinh_cosh_tanh.svg)
+
+Some key facts about these functions:
+
+- $\cosh$ has even symmetry and $\sinh$ and $\tanh$ have odd symmetry
+- as $x \rightarrow + \infty$, $\cosh x \rightarrow +\infty$ and $\sinh x \rightarrow +\infty$
+- $\cosh^2x - \sinh^2x = 1$
+- $\tanh$'s limits are -1 and +1
+- Derivatives:
+  - $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \sinh x = \cosh x$
+  - $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \cosh x = \sinh x$
+  - $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \tanh x = \frac{1}{\cosh^2x}$
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Natural Logarithm
+
+$$\ln{e^y} = \ln{\exp y} = y$$
+
+</summary>
+
+Since the exponential of any real number is positive, the domain of $\ln$ is $x > 0$.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Implicit Functions
+
+An implicit function takes the form
+
+$$f(x, y) = 0$$
+
+</summary>
+
+To draw the curve of an implicit function you have to rewrite it in the form $y = f(x)$.
+There may be more than one $y$ value for each $x$ value.
+
+</details>
+
+# Differentiation
+
+The derivative of the function $f(x)$ is denoted by:
+
+$$f'(x) \text{ or } \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm dx} f(x)$$

+Geometrically, the derivative is the gradient of the curve $y = f(x)$.
+
+It is a measure of the rate of change of $f(x)$ as $x$ varies.
+
+For example, velocity, $v$, is the rate of change of displacement, $s$, with respect to time, $t$,
+or:

+## L'Hôpital's Rule
+
+l'Hôpital's rule provides a systematic way of dealing with limits of functions like
+$\frac{\sin x} x$.
+
+Suppose
+
+$$\lim_{x\rightarrow{a}} f(x) = 0$$
+
+and
+
+$$\lim_{x\rightarrow{a}} g(x) = 0$$
+
+and we want $\lim_{x\rightarrow{a}} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$.
+
+If
+
+$$\lim_{x\rightarrow{a}} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)} = L $$
+
+where any $L$ is any real number or $\pm \infty$, then
+
+$$\lim_{x\rightarrow{a}} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = L$$
+
+You can keep applying the rule until you get a sensible answer.

+## Stationary Points
+
+An important application of calculus is to find where a function is a maximum or minimum.
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-12-27T15:30:26,494800477+00:00.png)
+
+when these occur the gradient of the tangent to the curve, $f'(x) = 0$.
+The condition $f'(x) = 0$ alone however does not guarantee a minimum or maximum.
+It only means that point is a *stationary point*.
+
+There are three main types of stationary points:
+
+- maximum
+- minimum
+- point of inflection
+
+### Local Maximum
+
+The point $x = a$ is a local maximum if:
+
+$$f'(a) = 0 \text{ and } f''(a) < 0$$
+
+This is because $f'(x)$ is a decreasing function of $x$ near $x=a$.
+
+### Local Minimum
+
+The point $x = a$ is a local minimum if:
+
+$$f'(a) = 0 \text{ and } f''(a) > 0$$
+
+This is because $f'(x)$ is a increasing function of $x$ near $x=a$.
+
+### Point of Inflection
+
+$$f'(a) = 0 \text{ and } f''(a) = 0 \text { and } f'''(a) \ne 0$$
+
+#### $f'''(a) > 0$
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-12-27T15:38:11,125781274+00:00.png)

+# Approximating with the Taylor series
+
+The expansion
+
+$$e^x = 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \cdots$$
+
+is an example of a *Taylor series*.
+These enable us to approximate a given function f(x) using a series which is often easier to
+calculate.
+Among other uses, they help us:
+
+- calculate complicated function using simple arithmetic operations
+- find useful analytical approximations which work for $x$ near a given value
+  (e.g. $e^x  \approx 1 + x$ for $x$ near 0)
+- Understand the behaviour of a function near a stationary point
+
+## Strategy
+
+Suppose we know information about $f(x)$ only at the point $x=0$.
+How can we find out about $f$ for other values of $x$?
+
+We could approximate the function by successive polynomials,
+each time matching more derivatives at $x=0$.
+
+\begin{align*}
+  g(x) = a_0 &\text{ using } f(0) \\
+  g(x) = a_0 + a_1x &\text{ using } f(0), f'(0) \\
+  g(x) = a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 &\text{ using } f(0), f'(0), f''(0) \\
+  &\text{and so on...}
+\end{align*}
+

+<summary>
+
+#### Example 1
+
+For $x$ near 0, approximate $f(x) = \cos x$ by a quadratic.
+
+</summary>
+
+1. Set $f(0) = g(0$:
+
+   $$f(0) = 1 \rightarrow g(0) = a_0 = 1$$
+
+2. Set $f'(0) = g'(0$:
+
+   $$f'(0) = -\sin0 = 0 \rightarrow g'(0) = a_1 = 0$$
+
+3. Set $f''(0) = g''(0$:
+
+   $$f''(0) = -\cos = -1 \rightarrow g''(0) = 2a_2 = -1 \rightarrow a_2 = -0.5$$
+
+So for $x$ near 0,
+
+$$\cos x \approx 1 - \frac 1 2 x^2$$
+
+Check: 
+
+$x$ | $\cos x$ | $1 - 0.5x^2$

+
+## General Case
+
+### Maclaurin Series
+
+A Maclaurin series is a Taylor series expansion of a function about 0.
+
+Any function $f(x)$ can be written as an infinite *Maclaurin Series*
+
+$$f(x) = a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + a_3x^2 + \cdots$$
+
+where
+
+$$a_0 = f(0) \qquad a_n = \frac 1 {n!} \frac{\mathrm d^nf}{\mathrm dx^n} \bigg|_{x=0}$$
+
+($|_{x=0}$ means evaluated at $x=0$)
+
+### Taylor Series
+
+We may alternatively expand about any point $x=a$ to give a Taylor series:
+
+\begin{align*}
+f(x) = &f(a) + (x-a)f'(a) \\
+       & + \frac 1 {2!}(x-a)^2f''(a) \\
+       & + \frac 1 {3!}(x-a)^3f'''(a) \\
+       & + \cdots + \frac 1 {n!}(x-a)^nf^{(n)}(a)
+\end{align*}
+
+a generalisation of a Maclaurin series.
+
+An alternative form of Taylor series is given by setting $x = a+h$ where $h$ is small:
+
+$$f(a+h) = f(a) + hf'(a) + \cdots + \frac 1 {n!}h^nf^{(n)}(a) + \cdots$$
+
+
+## Taylor Series at a Stationary Point
+
+If f(x) has a stationary point at $x=a$, then $f'(a) = 0$ and the Taylor series begins
+
+$$f(x) = f(a) + \frac 1 2 f''(a)(x-a)^2 + \cdots$$
+
+- If $f''(a) > 0$ then the quadratic part makes the function increase going away from $x=a$ and we
+  have a minimum
+- If $f''(a) < 0$ then the quadratic part makes the function decrease going away from $x=a$ and we
+  have a maximum
+- If $f''(a) = 0$ then we must include a higer order terms to determine what happens
+  have a minimum
+
+# Integration
+
+Integration is the reverse of [differentiation](#differentiation).
+
+Take velocity and displacement as an example:
+
+$$\int\! v \mathrm dt = s + c$$
+
+where $c$ is the constant of integration, which is required for
+[indefinite integrals](#indefinite-integrals).A
+
+## Definite Integrals
+
+The definite integral of a function $f(x)$ in the range $a \le x \le b$ is denoted be:
+
+$$\int^b_a \! f(x) \,\mathrm dx$$
+
+If $f(x) = F'(x)$ ($f(x)$ is the derivative of $F(x)$) then
+
+$$\int^b_a \! f(x) \,\mathrm dx = \left[F(x)\right]^b_a = F(b) - F(a)$$
+
+## Area and Integration
+
+Approximate the area under a smooth curve using a large number of narrow rectangles.
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-12-28T15:18:59,911868873+00:00.png)
+
+Area under curve $\approx \sum_{n} f(x_n)\Delta x_n$.
+
+As the rectangles get more numerous and narrow, the approximation approaches the real area.
+
+The limiting value is denoted
+
+$$\approx \sum_{n} f(x_n)\Delta x_n \rightarrow \int^b_a\! f(x) \mathrm dx$$
+
+This explains the notation used for integrals.

+   x &= -2
+   \end{align*}
+
+2. Since $f_1(x) \ge f_2(x)$ between $P$ and $Q$
+
+  \begin{align*}
+  A &= \int^1_{-2}\! (f_1(x) - f_2(x)) \mathrm dx \\
+    &= \int^1_{-2}\! (2 - x^2  - x) \mathrm dx \\
+    &= \left[ 2x - \frac 13 x^3 - \frac 12 x^2 \right]^1_{-2} \\

+## Techniques for Integration
+
+Integration requires multiple techniques and methods to do correctly because it is a PITA.
+
+These are best explained by examples so try to follow those rather than expect and explanation.
+
+### Integration by Substitution
+
+Integration but substitution lets us integrate functions of functions.

+
+#### Example 1
+
+Find
+
+$$I = \int\!(5x - 1)^3 \mathrm dx$$
+
+</summary>
+
+1. Let $w(x) = 5x - 1$
+2. 
+   \begin{align*}
+   \frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx} w &= 5 \\
+   \frac 15 \mathrm dw &= \mathrm dx
+   \end{align*}
+
+3. The integral is then
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   I &= \int\! w^3 \frac 15 \mathrm dw \\
+     &= \frac 15 \cdot \frac 14 \cdot w^4 + c \\
+     &= \frac{1}{20}w^4 + c
+   \end{align*}
+
+4. Finally substitute $w$ out
+
+  $$I = \frac{(5x-1)^4}{20} + c$$
+

+

+
+#### Example 2
+
+Find
+
+$$I = \int\! \cos x \sqrt{\sin x + 1} \mathrm dx$$
+
+</summary>
+
+1. Let
+
+   $$w(x) = \sin x + 1$$
+
+2. Then
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   \frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx} w = \cos x \\
+   \mathrm dw = \cos x \mathrm dx \\
+   \end{align*}
+
+3. The integral is now
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   I &= \int\! \sqrt w \,\mathrm dw \\
+     &= \int\! w^{\frac12} \,\mathrm dw \\
+     &= \frac23w^{\frac32} + c
+   \end{align*}
+
+4. Finally substitute $w$ out to get:
+
+   $$I = \frac23 (\sin x + 1)^{\frac32} + c$$
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+#### Example 3
+
+Find
+
+$$I = \int^{\frac\pi2}_0\! \cos x \sqrt{\sin x + 1} \,\mathrm dx$$
+
+</summary>
+
+1. Use the previous example to get to
+
+   $$I = \int^2_1\! \sqrt w \,\mathrm dw = \frac23w^{\frac32} + c$$
+
+2. Since $w(x) = \sin x + 1$ the limits are:
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   x = 0 &\rightarrow w = 1\\
+   x = \frac\pi2 &\rightarrow w = 2
+   \end{align*}
+
+3. This gives us
+
+   $$I = \left[ \frac23w^{\frac32} \right]^2_1 = \frac23 (2^{\frac23} = 1)$$
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+#### Example 4
+
+Find
+
+$$I = \int^1_0\! \sqrt{1 - x^2} \,\mathrm dx$$
+
+</summary>
+
+1. Try a trigonmetrical substitution:
+
+  \begin{align*}
+  x &= \sin w \\
+  \\
+  \frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dw} = \cos w \\
+  \mathrm dx = \cos 2 \,\mathrm dw \\
+  \end{align*}
+
+2.
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   x=0 &\rightarrow w=0 \\
+   x=1 &\rightarrow w=\frac\pi2
+   \end{align*}
+
+3. Therefore
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   I &= \int^{\frac\pi2}_0\! \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 w} \cos w \,\mathrm dw \\
+     &= \int^{\frac\pi2}_0\! \cos^w w \,\mathrm dw
+   \end{align*}
+
+   But $\cos(2w) = 2\cos^2w - 1$ so:
+
+   $$\cos^2w = \frac12 \cos(2w) + \frac12$$
+
+
+   Hence
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   I &= \int^{\frac\pi2}_0\! \frac12 \cos(2w) + \frac12 \,\mathrm dw \\
+     &= \left[ \frac14 \sin(2w) + \frac w2 \right]^{\frac\pi2}_0 \\
+     &= \left( \frac14 \sin\pi + \frac\pi4 \right) - 0 \\
+     &= \frac\pi4
+   \end{align*}
+
+### Integration by Parts

+$$uv = \int\! u\frac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx} \,\mathrm dx + \int\! \frac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}v \,\mathrm dx$$
+
+or

+$$\int\! u\frac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx} \,\mathrm dx = uv - \int\! \frac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}v \,\mathrm dx$$

+   and $v' = 1$.
+
+3. This means that $u' = \frac1x$ and $v = x$.
+4. 
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   I &= x\ln x - \int\! x\cdot\frac1x \,\mathrm dx + c \\

+Consider the equation

+
+To find $y$, is not a straightforward integration:

+
+The equation above does not solve for $y$ as we can't integrate the right until we know $y$...
+which is what we're trying to find.

+This is an example of a first order differential equation.
+The general form is:

+
+A first order diferential equation is called *separable* if it is of the form

+an eigenvector of $A$:
+
+$$A(c\pmb x) = cA\pmb x = c\lambda \pmb x = \lambda(c\pmb x)$$
+
+In general, if $A$ is an $n\times n$ matrix, then $|A-\lambda I|$ is a
+polynomial of degree $n$ in $\lambda$, called the characteristic polynomial.
+The characteristic equation is:
+
+$$\lambda^n + c_{n-1}\lambda^{n-1} + c_{n-2}\lambda^{n-2} + \cdots + c_0 = 0$$

+
+If $A$ is the matrix
+
+$$A = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}$$
+
+then
+
+$$|A - \lambda I| = \lambda^2 - (a+d)\lambda + (ad-bc)$$
+
+And the standard method for solving a quadratic can be used to find $\lambda$.

+# Systems of Equations (Simultaneous Equations)
+
+## Gaussian Elimination
+
+Gaussian eliminiation can be used when the number of unknown variables you have is equal to the
+number of equations you are given.
+
+I'm pretty sure it's the name for the method you use to solve simultaneous equations in school.
+
+For example if you have 1 equation and 1 unknown:
+
+\begin{align*}
+2x &= 6 \\
+x &= 3
+\end{align*}
+
+### Number of Solutions
+
+Let's generalise the example above to
+
+$$ax = b$$
+
+There are 3 possible cases:
+
+\begin{align*}
+a \ne 0 &\rightarrow x = \frac b a \\
+a = 0, b \ne 0 &\rightarrow \text{no solution for $x$} \\
+a = 0, b = 0 &\rightarrow \text{infinite solutions for $x$}
+\end{align*}
+
+### 2x2 Systems
+
+A 2x2 system is one with 2 equations and 2 unknown variables.
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+#### Example 1
+
+\begin{align*}
+3x_1 + 4x_2 &= 2 &\text{(1)} \\
+x_1 + 2x_2 &= 0 &\text{(2)} \\
+\end{align*}
+
+</summary>
+
+\begin{align*}
+3\times\text{(2)} = 3x_1 + 6x_2 &= 0 &\text{(3)} \\
+\text{(3)} - \text{(1)} = 0x_1 + 2x_2 &= -2 \\
+x_2 &= -1
+\end{align*}
+
+We've essentially created a 1x1 system for $x_2$ and now that's solved we can back substitute it
+into equation (1) (or equation (2), it doesn't matter) to work out the value of $x_1$:
+
+\begin{align*}
+3x_1 + 4x_2 &= 2 \\
+3x_1 - 1 &= 2 \\
+3x_1 &= 6 \\
+x_1 &= 2
+\end{align*}
+
+You can check the values for $x_1$ and $x_2$ are correct by substituting them into equation (2).
+
+</details>
+
+### 3x3 Systems
+
+A 3x3 system is one with 3 equations and 3 unknown variables.
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+#### Example 1
+
+\begin{align*}
+2x_1 + 3x_2 - x_3 &= 5 &\text{(1)} \\
+4x_1 + 4x_2 - 3x_3 &= 5 &\text{(2)} \\
+2x_1 - 3x_2 + x_3 &= 5 &\text{(3)} \\
+\end{align*}
+
+</summary>
+
+The first step is to eliminate $x_1$ from (2) and (3) using (1):
+
+\begin{align*}
+\text{(2)}-2\times\text{(1)} = -2x_2 -x_3 &= -1 &\text{(4)} \\
+\text{(3)}-\text{(1)} = -6x_2 + 3x_3 &= -6 &\text{(5)} \\
+\end{align*}
+
+This has created a 2x2 system of $x_2$ and $x_3$ which can be solved as any other 2x2 system.
+I'm too lazy to type up the working, but it is solved like any other 2x2 system.
+
+\begin{align*}
+x_2 &= -2
+x_3 &= 5
+\end{align*}
+
+These values can be back-substituted into any of the first 3 equations to find out $x_1$:
+
+\begin{align*}
+-2x_1 + 3x_2 - x_3 = 2x_1 + 6 - 3 = 5 \rightarrow x_1 = 1
+\end{align*}
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+#### Example 2
+
+\begin{align*}
+x_1 + x_2 - 2x_3 &= 1 &R_1 \\
+2x_1 - x_2 - x_3 &= 1 &R_2 \\
+x_1 + 4x_2 + 7x_3 &= 2 &R_3 \\
+\end{align*}
+
+</summary>
+
+1. Eliminate $x_1$ from $R_2$, $R_3$:
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   x_1 + x_2 - 2x_3 &= 1 &R_1' = R_1\\
+   - 3x_2 - 5x_3 &= -1 &R_2' = R_2 - 2R_1 \\
+   3x_2 + 5x_3 &= 1 &R_3' = R_3 - R_1 \\
+   \end{align*}
+
+   We've created another 2x2 system of $R_2'$ and $R_3'$
+
+2. Eliminate $x_2$ from $R_3''$
+
+   \begin{align*}
+   x_1 + x_2 - 2x_3 &= 1 &R_1'' = R_1' = R_1\\
+   - 3x_2 - 5x_3 &= -1 &R_2'' = R_2' = R_2 - 2R_1 \\
+   0x_3 &= 0 &R_3'' = R_3 '+ R_2' \\
+   \end{align*}
+
+   We can see that $x_3$ can be any number, so there are infinite solutions. Let:
+
+   $$x_3 = t$$
+
+   where $t$ can be any number
+
+3. Substitute $x_3$ into $R_2''$:
+
+   $$R_2'' = -3x_2 - 5t = -1 \rightarrow x_2 = \frac 1 3 - \frac{5t} 3$$
+
+4. Substitute $x_2$ and $x_3$ into $R_1''$:
+
+   $$R_1'' = x_1 + \frac 1 3 - \frac{5t} 3 + 2t = 1 \rightarrow x_1 = \frac 2 3 - \frac t 3$$

+
+## Systems of Equations and Matrices
+
+Many problems in engineering have a very large number of unknowns and equations to solve
+simultaneously.
+We can use matrices to solve these efficiently.
+
+Take the following simultaneous equations::
+
+\begin{align*}
+3x_1 + 4x_2 &= 2 &\text{(1)} \\
+x_1 + 2x_2 &= 0 &\text{(2)}
+\end{align*}
+
+They can be represented by the following matrices:
+
+\begin{align*}
+A &= \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \\
+\pmb x  &= \begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \end{pmatrix} \\
+\pmb b  &= \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \\
+\end{align*}
+
+You can then express the system as:
+
+$$A\pmb x = \pmb b$$
+

+
+\begin{align*}
+2x_1 + 3x_2 - x_3 &= 5 \\
+4x_1 + 4x_2 - 3x_3 &= 3 \\
+2x_1 - 3x_2 + x_3 &= -1
+\end{align*}
+
+Could be expressed in the form $A\pmb x = \pmb b$ where:
+
+\begin{align*}
+A &= \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 3 & -1 \\ 4 & 4 & -3 \\ 2 & -3 & -1 \end{pmatrix} \\
+\pmb x  &= \begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{pmatrix} \\
+\pmb b  &= \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ 3 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix} \\

+# Matrices
+
+## Order of a Matrix
+
+The order of a matrix is its size e.g. $3\times2$ or $m\times n$
+
+## Column Vectors
+
+- Column vectors are matrices with only one column:
+
+  $$ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 45 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix} $$
+
+- Column vector variables typed up or printed are expressed in $\pmb{bold}$ and when it is
+  handwritten it is \underline{underlined}:
+
+  $$ \pmb x = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}$$
+
+## Matrix Algebra
+
+### Equality
+
+Two matrices are the same if:
+
+- Their order is the same
+- Their corresponding elements are the same
+
+### Addition and Subtraction
+
+Only possible if their order is the same.
+\begin{align*}
+A + B&= \begin{pmatrix} a_{11} + b_{11} & a_{12} + b_{12} & \cdots & a_{1n} + b_{1n} \\
+                a_{21} + b_{21} & a_{22} + b_{22} & \cdots & a_{2n} + b_{2n} \\
+                \vdots &        &     & \vdots \\
+                a_{m1} + b_{m1} & a_{m2} + b_{m2} & \cdots & a_{mn} + b_{mn}
+                \end{pmatrix} \\
+A - B&= \begin{pmatrix} a_{11} - b_{11} & a_{12} - b_{12} & \cdots & a_{1n} - b_{1n} \\

+                \end{pmatrix}, 
+\end{align*}
+
+### Zero Matrix
+
+This is a matrix whose elements are all zeros.
+For any matrix $A$,
+
+$$A + 0 =A$$
+
+We can only add matrices of the same order, therefore 0 must be of the same order as $A$.
+
+### Multiplication
+
+Let
+
+$$
+\begin{matrix}
+A & m\times n \\
+B & p\times q
+\end{matrix}
+$$
+
+To be able to multiply $A$ by $B$, $n = p$.
+
+If $n \ne p$, then $AB$ does not exist.
+
+$$
+\begin{matrix}
+A & B & = & C \\
+m\times n & p \times q & & m\times q
+\end{matrix}
+$$
+
+When $C = AB$ exists,
+
+$$C_{ij} = \sum_r\! a_{ir}b_{rj}$$
+
+That is, $C_{ij}$ is the 'product' of the $i$th row of $A$ and $j$th column of $B$.
+
+#### Multiplication of a Matrix by a Scalar
+
+If $\lambda$ is a scalar, we define
+
+$$
+\lambda a = \begin{pmatrix} \lambda a_{11} & \lambda a_{12} & \cdots & \lambda a_{1n} \\
+                \lambda a_{21} & \lambda a_{22} & \cdots & \lambda a_{2n} \\
+                \vdots &        &     & \vdots \\
+                \lambda a_{m1} & \lambda a_{m2} & \cdots & \lambda a_{mn} 
+                \end{pmatrix},

+- $(\lambda A)B = \lambda(AB) = A(\lambda B)$
+- $A(BC) = (AB)C = ABC$
+- $(A+B)C = AC + BC$
+- $C(A+B) = CA + CB$
+- In general, $AB \ne BA$ even if both exist
+- $AB = 0$ does not always mean $A = 0$ or $B = 0$:
+
+  $$\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = 
+  \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = 0$$

+
+The identity matrix is a square matrix whose eleements are all 0, except the leading diagonal which
+is 1s.
+The leading diagonal is the top left to bottom right corner.
+
+It is usually denoted by $I$ or $I_n$.
+
+The identity matrix has the properties that
+
+$$AI = IA = A$$
+
+for any square matrix $A$ of the same order as I, and
+
+$$Ix = x$$
+
+for any vector $x$.

+
+### Transposed Matrix
+
+The transpose of matrix $A$ of order $m\times n$ is matrix $A^T$ which has the order $n\times m$.
+It is found by reflecting it along the leading diagonal, or interchanging the rows and columns of
+$A$.

+
+### Orthogonal Matrices
+
+A matrix, $A$, such that
+
+$$A^{-1} = A^T$$
+
+is said to be orthogonal.
+
+Another way to say this is
+
+$$AA^T = A^TA = I$$
+
+### Symmetric Matrices
+
+A square matrix which is symmetric about its leading diagonal:
+
+$$A = A^T$$
+
+You can also express this as the matrix $A$, where
+
+$$a_{ij} = a_{ji}$$
+
+is satisfied to all elements.

+### Anti-Symmetric
+
+A square matrix is anti-symmetric if
+
+$$A = -A^T$$
+
+This can also be expressed as
+
+$$a_{ij} = -a_{ji}$$
+
+This means that all elements on the leading diagonal must be 0.

+
+## The Determinant
+
+### Determinant of a 2x2 System
+
+The determinant of a $2x2$ system is
+
+$$D = a_{11}a_{22} - a_{12}a_{21}$$
+
+It is denoted by
+
+$$
+\begin{vmatrix}
+a_{11} & a_{12} \\
+a_{21} & a_{22}
+\end{vmatrix}
+\text{ or }
+\det
+\begin{pmatrix}
+a_{11} & a_{12} \\
+a_{21} & a_{22}
+\end{pmatrix}
+$$
+
+- A system of equations has a unique solution if $D \ne 0$
+- If $D = 0$, then there are either
+
+  - no solutions (the equations are inconsistent)
+  - intinitely many solutions
+
+### Determinant of a 3x3 System
+
+Let
+
+$$
+A = \begin{pmatrix}
+a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\
+a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\
+a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33}
+\end{pmatrix}
+$$
+
+\begin{align*}
+\det A = &a_{11} \times \det \begin{pmatrix}a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{32} & a_{33} \end{pmatrix} \\
+        &-a_{12} \times \det \begin{pmatrix}a_{21} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{33} \end{pmatrix} \\
+        &+a_{13} \times \det \begin{pmatrix}a_{21} & a_{22} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} \end{pmatrix}
+\end{align*}
+
+The $2x2$ matrices above are created by removing any elements on the same row or column as its corresponding
+coefficient:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-11-02T16:19:40,013146580+00:00.png)
+
+### Chessboard Determinant
+
+$\det A$ may be obtained by expanding out any row or column.
+To figure out which coefficients should be subtracted and which ones added use the chessboard
+pattern of signs:
+
+$$\begin{pmatrix} + & - & + \\ - & + & - \\ + & - & + \end{pmatrix}$$
+
+### Properties of Determinants
+
+- $$\det A = \det A^T$$
+- If all elements of one row of a matrix are multiplied by a constant $z$, the determinant of the
+  new matrix is $z$ times the determinant of the original matrix:
+
+  \begin{align*}
+  \begin{vmatrix} za & zb \\ c & d \end{vmatrix} &= zad - zbc \\
+       &= z(ad-bc) \\
+       &= z\begin{vmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{vmatrix}
+  \end{align*}
+
+  This is also true if a column of a matrix is mutiplied by a constant.
+
+  **Application** if the fator $z$ appears in each elements of a row or column of a determinant it
+  can be factored out
+
+  $$\begin{vmatrix}2 & 12 \\ 1 & 3 \end{vmatrix} = 2\begin{vmatrix}1 & 6 \\ 1 & 3 \end{vmatrix} = 2 \times 3
+  \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix}$$
+
+  **Application** if all elements in one row or column of a matrix are zero, the value of the 
+  determinant is 0.
+
+  $$\begin{vmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ c & d \end{vmatrix} = 0\times d - 0\times c = 0$$
+
+
+  **Application** if $A$ is an $n\times n$ matrix,
+
+  $$\det(zA) = z^n\det A$$
+
+- Swapping any two rows or columns of a matrix changes the sign of the determinant
+
+  \begin{align*}
+  \begin{vmatrix} c & d \\ a & b \end{vmatrix} &= cb - ad \\
+        &= -(ad - bc) \\
+        &= -\begin{vmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{vmatrix}
+  \end{align*}
+
+  **Application** If any two rows or two columns are identical, the determinant is zero.
+
+  **Application** If any row is a mutiple of another, or a column a multiple of another column, the
+  determinant is zero.
+
+- The value of a determinant is unchanged by adding to any row a constant multiple of another row,
+  or adding to any column a constant multiple of another column
+
+- If $A$ and $B$ are square matrices of the same order then
+
+  $$\det(AB) = \det A \times \det B $$
+
+## Inverse of a Matrix
+
+If $A$ is a square matrix, then its inverse matrix is $A^{-1}$ and is defined by the property that:
+
+$$A^{-1}A = AA^{-1} = I$$
+
+- Not every matrix has an inverse
+- If the inverse exists, then it is very useful for solving systems of equations:
+
+  \begin{align*}
+  A\pmb{x} = \pmb b \rightarrow A^{-1}A\pmb x &= A^{-1}\pmb b \\
+  I\pmb x &= A^{-1}\pmb b \\
+  \pmb x &= A^{-1}\pmb b
+  \end{align*}
+
+  Therefore there must be a unique solution to $A\pmb x = \pmb b$: $\pmb x = A^{-1}\pmb b$.
+
+- If $D = EF$ then 
+
+  $$D^-1 = (EF)^{-1} = F^{-1}E^{-1}$$
+
+### Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix
+
+If $A$ is the $2x2$ matrix
+
+$$
+A = \begin{pmatrix}
+a_{11} & a_{12} \\
+a_{21} & a_{22}
+\end{pmatrix}
+$$
+
+and its determinant, $D$, satisfies $D \ne 0$, $A$ has the inverse $A^{-1}$ given by
+
+$$
+A^{-1} = \frac 1 D \begin{pmatrix}
+a_{22} & -a_{12} \\
+-a_{21} & a_{11}
+\end{pmatrix}
+$$
+
+If $D = 0$, then matrix $A$ has no inverse.

+
+Vectors have a *magnitude* (size) and *direction*.
+Examples of vectors include force, velocity, and acceleration.
+
+In type, vectors are notated in **bold**: $\pmb{a}$.
+In handwriting is is \underline{underlined}.
+
+# Vector Algebra
+
+## Equality
+
+Two vectors are said to be equal if their magnitudes and directions are equal.
+
+You can also do this by checking if their vertical and horizontal components are equal.
+
+## Addition
+
+Two vectors, $\pmb{a}$ and $\pmb{b}$, can be summed together by summing their components.
+
+You can also do this graphically by drawing $\pmb{a}$ and then $\pmb{b}$ by putting its tail on
+the tip of $\pmb{a}$.
+The sum of the vectors is from the tail of $\pmb{a}$ to the tip of $\pmb{b}$:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2022-02-18T16:34:17,290235454+00:00.png)
+
+Vector addition is associative[^d_associative] and commutative[^d_commutative].
+
+## Zero Vector
+
+The *zero vector* is denoted by $\pmb{0}$ and has zero magnitude and arbitrary direction.
+
+$$\pmb{a} + \pmb 0 = \pmb a$$
+
+If $\pmb a + \pmb b = 0$ then it is normal to write
+
+
+$$\pmb b = -\pmb a$$
+
+$-\pmb a$ is a vector with the same magnitude to $\pmb a$ but opposite direction.
+
+## Multiplication
+
+### Multiplication by a Scalar
+
+Let $k$, an arbitrary scalar and $\pmb a$, an arbitrary vector.
+
+- $k\pmb a$ is a vector of magnitude $|k|$ times that of $\pmb a$ and is parralel to it
+- $0\pmb a = 0$
+- $1\pmb a = a$
+- $(-k)\pmb a = -(k\pmb a)$
+- $(-1)\pmb a = -\pmb a$
+- $k(\pmb a + \pmb b) = k\pmb a + k\pmb b$
+- $(k_1 + k_2)\pmb a = k_1\pmb a + k_2\pmb a$
+- $(k_1k_2)\pmb a = k_1(k_2\pmb a)$
+
+### The Scalar Product (Inner Product, Dot Product)
+
+The scalar product of two vectors $\pmb a$ and $\pmb b$ is a scalar defined by
+
+$$\pmb a \cdot \pmb b = |\pmb a||\pmb b|\cos\theta =  a_1b_1 + a_2b_2 + a_3b_3$$
+
+where $\pmb a = (a_1, a_2, a_3)$ and $\pmb b = (b_1, b_2, b_3)$
+
+where $\theta$ is the angle between the two vectors (note that $\cos\theta = \cos(2\pi - \theta)$).
+This definition does not depend on a coordinate system.
+
+- The dot product is commutative[^d_commutative]
+- The dot product is distributive[^d_distributive]
+- If $\pmb a$ is perpendicular to $\pmb b$, then $\pmb a \cdot \pmb b = 0$ and they are said to be
+  orthogonal
+- If $\pmb a \cdot \pmb b = 0$ then either
+
+    i. The vectors are orthogonal
+    ii. One or both of the vectorse are zero vectors
+
+- $\pmb a \cdot \pmb a = |\pmb a|^2 = a^2$
+
+The base vectors are said to be *orthonormal* when $\pmb i^2 = \pmb j^2 = \pmb k^2 = 1$ and
+$i\cdot j = i\cdot k = j\cdot k = 0$.
+
+### The Vector Product (Cross Product)
+
+The vector product between two vectors is defined by:
+
+$$\pmb a \times \pmb b = |\pmb a||\pmb b|\sin\theta \hat{\pmb n}$$
+
+where $0 \le \theta \le \pi$ is the angle between $\pmb a$ and $\pmb b$ and $\pmb n$ is a unit
+vector such that the three vectors from a right handed system:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2022-02-18T20:11:12,072203286+00:00.png)
+
+- $\pmb a \times \pmb b = -\pmb b \times \pmb a$ (the vector product is anti-commutative[^d_commutative])
+- If $\pmb a \times \pmb b = 0$ then either
+
+    i. The vectors are parallel
+    ii. One or both of the vectors are a zero vector
+
+- $(k_1\pmb a)\times(k_2\pmb b) = (k_1k_2)(\pmb a \times \pmb b)$ where $k_1$, $k_2$ are scalars
+- If $\pmb a = (a_1, a_2, a_3)$ and $\pmb b = (b_1, b_2, b_3)$ then
+
+    $$\pmb a \times \pmb b = (a_2b_3 - a_3b_2, a_1b_3-a_3b_1, a_1b_2-a_2b_1)$$
+
+- In the notation of determinants, provided we **expand by row 1**:
+
+    $$\pmb a \times \pmb b = \begin{vmatrix} \pmb i & \pmb j & \pmb k \\ a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\ b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \end{vmatrix}$$
+
+    This is technically not a determinant because not all the elements are numbers but shhhhhh...
+
+
+### Scalar Triple Product (and co-planar vectors)
+
+\begin{align*}
+        [ \pmb a, \pmb b, \pmb c ] &= \pmb a \cdot (\pmb b \times \pmb c) \\
+                                   &= \pmb b \cdot (\pmb c \times \pmb a) \\
+                                   &= \pmb c \cdot (\pmb a \times \pmb b) \\
+                                   &= (\pmb b \times \pmb c) \cdot \pmb a \\
+                                   &= (\pmb c \times \pmb a) \cdot \pmb b \\
+                                   &= (\pmb a \times \pmb b) \cdot \pmb c
+\end{align*}
+
+In terms of determinants:
+
+$$
+[ \pmb a, \pmb b, \pmb c ] = \begin{vmatrix} 
+                a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\ 
+                b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\ 
+                c_1 & c_2 & c_3 
+        \end{vmatrix}
+$$
+
+If $[\pmb a, \pmb b, \pmb c] = 0$ then the vectors are coplanar.
+
+The absolute value of the scalar triple product reperesents the volume of the parallelepiped defined
+by those vectors:

+The component of a vector $\pmb a$ in the direction of the **unit vector** $\hat{\pmb n}$ is
+
+$$\pmb a \cdot \hat{\pmb n}$$
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2022-02-18T20:34:50,128465689+00:00.png)
+
+Vectors are often written in terms of base vectors, such as the Cartesian system's $\pmb i$,
+$\pmb j$, and $\pmb k$ in three dimensions.
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2022-02-18T19:31:50,686289623+00:00.png)
+
+These vectors have unit magnitude, are perpendicular to each other, and are right handed.
+
+If $\pmb a = a_1\pmb i + a_2\pmb j + a_3\pmb k$ then the scalars $a_1$, $a_2$, and $a_3$ are the
+*components* of the vector (relative to the base vectors).
+
+### Vector Projections
+
+The *vector projection* of $\pmb a$ onto $\hat{\pmb n}$ is given by
+
+$$(\pmb a \cdot \hat{\pmb n})\hat{\pmb n}$$
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2022-02-18T21:40:15,724449945+00:00.png)
+
+They look like the same as [vector components](#components-of-a-vector) to me...
+no idea what the difference is but uh StackExchange says
+([permalink](https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/537690)):
+
+> As pointed out, the projection and component actually refers to the same thing.
+> To solve a problem like this it useful to introduce a coordinate system, as you mentioned yourself
+> you project onto the x-axis.
+> As soon as you introduce a coordinate system you can talk about the components of some vector.
+
+## Position Vectors
+
+If an origin $O$ is fixed, then any point $P$ in space may be represented by the vector $\pmb r$
+which has a magnitude and direction given by the line $\overrightarrow{OP}$.
+
+A point $(x, y, z)$ in Cartesian space has the position vector $r = x\pmb i + y\pmb j + z\pmb k$.
+
+## Angle Between Vectors
+
+By rearranging the [dot product equation](#the-scalar-product-inner-product-dot-product) you can get
+an equation to find the angle, $\theta$, between two vectors:
+
+$$\cos\theta = \frac{\pmb a \cdot \pmb b}{|\pmb a||\pmb b|} = \frac{a_1b_1 + a_2b_2 + a_3b_3}{|\pmb a ||\pmb b|}$$
+
+# Applications of Vectors
+
+## Application of Vectors to Geometry
+
+### Area of a Parallelogram
+
+$$area = |\pmb a||\pmb b|\sin\theta = |\pmb a \times \pmb b|$$
+
+### Volume of a Parallelepiped
+
+$$volume = | [ \pmb a, \pmb, b, \pmb c ] |$$
+
+### Equation of a Straight Line
+
+A straight line can be specified by
+
+- two points it passes
+- one point it passes and a direction
+
+If $\pmb a$ and $\pmb b$ are the position vectors of two distinct points, then the position vectors
+of an arbitrary point on the line joining these points is:
+
+$$\pmb r = \pmb a + \lambda(\pmb b - \pmb a)$$
+
+where $\lambda \in \Re$ is a parameter.
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2022-02-18T21:55:30,367159917+00:00.png)
+
+Suppose $O$ is an origin and $\pmb a$, $\pmb b$, and $\pmb r$ are position vectors on the line such
+that
+
+\begin{align*}
+\pmb a &= (x_0, y_0, z_0) \\
+\pmb b &= (x_1, y_1, z_1) \\
+\pmb r &= (x, y, z)\\
+\\
+(x, y, z) &= (x_0, y_0, z_0) + \lambda((x_1, y_1, z_1) - (x_0, y_0, z_0)) \\
+\\
+x &= x_0 + \lambda(x_1-x_0) \\
+y &= y_0 + \lambda(y_1-y_0) \\
+z &= z_0 + \lambda(z_1-z_0) \\
+\\
+\lambda &= \frac{x-x_0}{x_1-x_0} = \frac{y-y_0}{y_1-y_0} = \frac{z-z_0}{z_1-z_0}
+\end{align*}
+
+In the above, the vector $\pmb b - \pmb a$ is in the direction of the line.
+Thus the equation of a line can be specified by giving a point it passes through ($\pmb a$, say) and
+the direction of the line ($\pmb d = (d_1, d_2, d_3)$, say).
+
+The vector equation is then
+
+$$\pmb r = \pmb a + \lambda\pmb d$$
+
+#### The Cartesian Equation
+
+$$\frac{x-x_0}{d_1} = \frac{y-y_0}{d_2} = \frac{z-z_0}{d_3}$$
+
+### Equation of a Plane
+
+A *plane* can be defined by specifying either:
+
+- three points (as long as they're not in a straight line)
+- a point on the plane and two directions (useful for a parametric form)
+- specifying a point on the plane and the normal vector to the plane
+
+#### Specifying a Point and a Normal Vector
+
+Let $\pmb a$ be the position vector of a point on the plane, and $\pmb n$ a normal vector to the
+plane.
+
+If $\pmb r$ is the position vector of an arbitrary point on the plane, then $\pmb r - \pmb a$ is a
+vector lying *in* the plane, so
+
+$$(\pmb r - \pmb a) \cdot \pmb n = 0$$
+
+So the *vector equation* of the plane is
+
+$$\pmb r \cdot \pmb n = \pmb a \cdot \pmb n = D$$
+
+where $\pmb r = (x, y, z)$ and the vectors $\pmb a$ and $\pmb n$ are known.
+
+Suppose $\pmb a$, $\pmb n$, and $\pmb r$ are given by
+
+\begin{align*}
+\pmb a &= (x_0, y_0, z_0) \\
+\pmb n &= (l, m, p) \\
+\pmb r &= (x, y, z)\\
+\text{then } 0 &= ((x, y, z) - (x_0, y_0, z_0))\cdot(l, m, p)
+\end{align*}
+
+#### Specifying Three Points on a Plane
+
+If we specify three points on a plane with position vectors $\pmb a$, $\pmb b$, and $\pmb c$ the
+vectors $\pmb c - \pmb a$ and $\pmb c - \pmb b$ lie *in* the plane.
+(The vectors $\pmb a$, $\pmb b$, and $\pmb c$ do not necessarily lie *in* the plane;
+rather they take you from $O$ **to** the plane.)
+
+The normal to the plane, $\pmb n$, is then parallel to
+
+$$(\pmb c - \pmb a)\times(\pmb c - \pmb b)$$
+
+and so the equation of the plane is
+
+$$(\pmb r - \pmb a)\cdot((\pmb c - \pmb a)\times(\pmb c - \pmb b)) = 0$$
+
+
+#### The Angle Between Two Planes
+
+... is the same as the angle between their normal vectors
+
+
+
+
+
+[^d_associative]: The grouping of elements in in an operation do not matter (e.g. scalar addition: $a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c$)
+[^d_commutative]: The order of elements in an operation do not matter (e.g. scalar addition: $a+b = b+a$)
+[^d_distributive]: Easiest to explain with examples. Scalar multiplication is said to be distributive because $(a+b)c = ac + bc$

+# Circular Motion
+
+$$a_c = r\omega^2$$
+
+$$a = r\alpha \hat{e}_\theta - r\omega^2\hat{e}_r$$
+
+## Moment of Inertia
+
+$$J = mr^2 = \frac{M}{\ddot\theta}$$
+
+The unit of $J$ is kgm$^2$.
+
+Consider a particle of mass $m$ attached to one end of a rigid rod of length $r$.
+The rod is pivoting at its other end about point $O$, and experiences a torque $M$.
+This torque will cause the mass and the rod to rotate about $O$ with angular velocity
+$\dot{\theta}$ an angular acceleration $\ddot{\theta}$.
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2022-03-10T14:40:59,716300890+00:00.png)
+
+What is the expression for $M$?
+
+Well if break down the moment $M$ into a force, $F$, acting on the mass, we know that the
+moment $M = Fr$.  
+We know $F = ma$, and this case $a = r\ddot{\theta}$ so $M = mr^2\ddot\theta$.
+
+The moment of inertia is $J = mr^2$ so $M = J\ddot\theta$.
+
+If multiple torques are applied to a body the *rotational equation* of the motion is
+
+$$\overrightarrow{M} = \sum_i \overrightarrow{M}_i = J \overrightarrow{\ddot\theta} = J \overrightarrow{\alpha}$$
+
+The moment of inertia of any object is found by considering the object to be made up of lots of
+small particles and adding the moments of inertia for each small particle.
+The moments of inertia for a body depends on the mass and its distribution about the axis in
+consideration.
+
+$$J = \sum_i m_ir^2_i \rightarrow \int\! r^2 \mathrm{d}m$$
+
+### Perpendicular Axis Rule
+
+The perpendicular axis rule states that, for lamina object:
+
+$$J_z = J_x + J_y$$
+
+where $J_x$, $J_y$, and $J_z$ are the moments of inertia along their respective axes.
+
+### Parallel Axes Rule (Huygens-Steiner Theorem)
+
+The parallel axes rule states that:
+
+$$J_A = J_G = md^2$$
+
+where $d$ is the perpendicular distance between the two axes.
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2022-03-10T15:06:48,355133323+00:00.png)
+
+### Moment of a Compound Object
+
+The moment of inertia for any compound object can be calculated by adding and subtracting the
+moments of inertia for its 'standard' components.

+## Newton's Laws
+
+1.  Remains at constant velocity unless acted on by external force
+
+2.  Sum of forces on body is equal to mass of body multiplied by
+    acceleration
+
+    > 1st Law is a special case of 2nd
+
+3.  When one body exerts a force on another, 2nd body exerts force
+    simultaneously of equal magnitude and opposite direction
+
+## Equilibrium
+
+-   Body is in equilibrium if sum of all forces and moments acting on
+    body are 0

+
+## Free Body Diagrams
+
+A free body diagram is a diagram of a single (free) body which shows all
+the external forces acting on the body.
+
+Where there are several bodies or subcomponents interacting as a complex
+system, each body is drawn separately:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:23:03,892292648+01:00.png)
+
+## Friction
+
+-   Arises between rough surfaces and always acts at right angles to the
+    normal reaction force ($R$) in the direction to resist motion.
+-   The maximum value of friction $F$ is $F_{max} = \mu{}R$, where
+    $\mu{}$ is the friction coefficient
+-   $F_{max}$ is also known as the point of slip
+
+## Reactions at Supports
+
+There are three kinds of supports frequently encountered in engineering
+problems:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:41:56,080077960+01:00.png)
+
+## Principle of Force Transmissibility
+
+A force can be move dalong line of action without affecting equilibrium
+of the body which it acts on:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:43:04,689667620+01:00.png)
+
+This principle can be useful in determining moments.
+
+## Two-Force Bodies
+
+-   If a body has only 2 forces, then the forces must be collinear,
+    equal, and opposite:
+
+    ![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:44:05,581697277+01:00.png)
+
+    > The forces must be collinear so a moment is not created
+
+## Three-Force Bodies
+
+-   If a body in equilibrium has only three forces acting on it, then
+    the lines of actions must go through one point:
+
+    ![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-04T09:55:59,773394306+01:00.png)
+
+    > This is also to not create a moment
+
+-   The forces must form a closed triangle ($\sum{F} = 0$)

+
+1. Make good quality clear and big sketches
+2. Label all forces, dimensions, relevant points
+3. Explain and show your thought process---write complete equations
+4. Follow standard conventions in equations and sketches
+5. Solve everything symbolically (algebraicly) until the end
+6. Check your answers make sense
+7. Don't forget the units

+
+## Tension and Compression
+
+- The convention in standard mechanical engineering problems is that positive values are for
+  tension and negative values for compression
+- Members in tension can be replaces by cables, which can support tension but not compression
+- Resisting compression is harder as members in compression can buckle
+
+## What is a Pin Joint?
+
+- Pin jointed structures are structures where joints are pinned (free to rotate)
+- Pin joints are represented by a circle (pin) about which members are free to rotate:
+
+  ![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T09:14:14,289274419+01:00.png)
+
+- A pin joint transmits force but cannot carry a moment
+
+## What is a Truss?
+
+- Trusses are an assembly of many bars, which are pin jointed in design but do not rotate due to
+  the geometry of the design. A pylon is a good example of this
+- Trusses are used in engineering to transfer forces through a structure
+- When pin jointed trusses are loaded at the pins, the bars are subjected to pure tensile or
+  compressive forces.
+
+  These bars are two force members
+
+## Equilibrium at the Joints

+
+### Forces at A
+
+$$\sum F_y(A) = \frac P 2 + T_{AB}\sin{\frac \pi 4} = 0 \rightarrow T_{AB} = -\frac P 2$$
+
+\begin{align*}
+\sum F_x(A) &= T_{AB}\cos{\frac pi 4} + T_{AC} = 0 \\
+T_AC &= -\frac{-P} 2  \times \frac{\sqrt{2}} 2 = \frac P 2
+\end{align*}
+
+### Forces at B
+
+Add the information we just obtained from calculating forces at A:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T09:30:57,113760253+01:00.png)
+
+And draw a free body diagram for the forces at B:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T09:31:09,513726429+01:00.png)
+
+$$
+\sum F_y(B) = -\frac{-P} 2 \sin{\frac \pi 4} - T_{BC} = 0 \rightarrow
+T_{BC} = \frac P {\sqrt 2} \times \frac {\sqrt 2} 2 = \frac P 2
+$$
+
+\begin{align*}
+\sum F_x(B) &= -\frac{-P}{\sqrt2}\cos{\frac \pi 4} + T_{BD} = 0 \\
+T_{BD} &= -\frac P 2
+\end{align*}
+
+## Symmetry in Stuctures
+
+Symmetry of bar forces in a pin jointed frame depends on to aspects:
+
+1. Symmetry of the stucture
+2. Symmetry of the loading (forces applied)
+
+Both conditions must be met to exploit symmetry.
+
+# Lecture L1.5, L1.6
+
+## Method of Sections
+
+The method of sections is very useful to find a few forces inside a complex structure.
+
+If an entire section is in equilibrium, so are discrete parts of the same structure.
+This means we an isolate substructures and draws free body diagrams for them.
+
+We must add all the forces acting on the substructure.
+Then we make a virtua cut through some of the members, replacing them with forces.
+
+Then we can write 3 equilibrium equations for the substructure:
+
+1. 1 Horizontal, 1 vertical, and 1 moment equation
+2. Either horizonal or vertical and 2 moment equations
+3. 3 moment equations
+
+<details>
+<summary>
+
+### Example 1
+
+</summary>
+
+Draw a virtual cut through the structure, making sure to cut through all the bars whose forces
+you are trying to find:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T09:54:16,538381701+01:00.png)
+
+Draw the free body diagram, substituting cut bars by forces:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T09:54:44,339423030+01:00.png)
+
+As there are three unknown forces, we need three equilibrium equations.
+
+#### First Equation: Moments about E
+
+\begin{align*}
+\sum M(E) &= \frac P 2 \times 2L + T_{DF}L = 0 \\
+T_{DF} &= -P
+\end{align*}
+
+#### Second Equation: Vertical Equilibrium
+
+\begin{align*}
+\sum F_y &= \frac P 2 + T_{EF}\sin{\frac \pi 4} = 0 \\
+T_{EF} &= -\frac P {\sqrt2}
+\end{align*}
+
+#### Third Equation: Horizontal Equilibrium
+
+\begin{align*}
+\sum F_x = T_{DF} + T_{EF}\cos{\frac \pi 4} + T_{EG} = 0 \\
+T_{EG} = \frac {3P} 2
+\end{align*}
+
+#### Taking Moments from Outside the Structure
+
+If we only needed EG, we could have taken moments about point F, outside our substructure:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T10:03:11,111898958+01:00.png)
+
+\begin{align*}
+\sum M(F) &= \frac P 2 \times 3L -T_{EG}L = 0 \\
+T_{EG} &= \frac {3P} 2
+\end{align*}
+
+</details>
+
+## Zero-Force Members
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T10:24:40,832835425+01:00.png)
+
+Consider the free body diagram for the joint at G:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T10:25:19,289848899+01:00.png)
+
+$$\sum F_y(G) = T_{FG} = 0$$
+$$\sum F_x(G) = -T_{EG} + T_{GJ} = 0 \rightarrow T_{EG} = T_{GJ}$$
+
+Meaning that the structure is effecively the same as this one:
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-10-18T10:28:27,972396634+01:00.png)
+
+Why was it there?
+
+- The structure may be designed for other loading patterns
+- The bar may prevent the struture from becoming a mechanism
+- A zero force member may also be there to prevent buckling
+
+## Externally Applied Moments
+
+Externally applied moments are dealt with in the same way as external forces, but they only
+contribute to moment equations and not force equilibrium equations.
+
+## Distributed Load
+
+A distriuted load is applied uniformly to a bar or section of a bar.
+
+It can be represented by a single force through the midpoint its midpoint.

+## Hooke's Law and Young's Modulus
+
+Hooke's law states that the extension of an object experiencing a force is proportonal to the force.
+
+We can generalize this to be more useful creating:
+
+- Direct stress:
+
+  $$ \sigma = \frac F {A_0} $$
+
+- Direct strain:
+
+  $$ \epsilon = \frac {\Delta L}{L_0} $$
+
+Using these more generalized variables, Young defined Young's Modulus, $E$, which is a universal
+constant of stiffness of a material.
+
+$$ \sigma = E\epsilon $$

+L_0 &= 4.64 \\
+w_0 &= 0.10 \\
+t_0 &= 150\times10^{-6} \\
+F &= 1.40\times9.81 \\
+L &= 6.33 \\
+w &= 0.086 \\
+t &= 125\times10^{-6} \\
+\\
+\sigma &= \frac F {A_0} = \frac F {w_0t_0} = \frac{1.4\times9.81}{0.1\times150\times10^{-6}} = 915600 \\
+\epsilon &= \frac{\Delta L}{L_0} = \frac{6.33 - 4.64}{4.64} = 0.36422...\\
+E &= \frac \sigma \epsilon = 2513836.686 = 2.5\times10^6 \text{ Pa}

+
+## Poisson's Ratio
+
+For most materials, their cross sectionts change when they are stretched or compressed.
+This is to keep their volume constant.
+
+$$ \epsilon_x = \frac {\Delta L}{L_0} $$
+$$ \epsilon_y = \frac {\Delta w}{w_0} $$
+$$ \epsilon_z = \frac {\Delta t}{t_0} $$
+
+Poisson's ratio, $\nu$ (the greek letter _nu_, not v), is the ratio of lateral strain to axial
+strain:
+
+$$ \nu = \frac{\epsilon_y}{\epsilon_x} = \frac{\epsilon_z}{\epsilon_x} $$
+

+\\
+L &= 6.33 \\
+w &= 0.086 \\
+t &= 125\times10^{-6} \\
+\\
+\epsilon_x &= \frac {\Delta L}{L_0} = 0.364 \\
+\epsilon_y &= \frac {\Delta w}{w_0} = -0.14 \\
+\epsilon_z &= \frac {\Delta t}{t_0} = -0.167 \\
+\\
+\nu_y &= \frac{\epsilon_y}{\epsilon_x} = \frac{-0.14}{0.364} = -0.38 \\
+\nu_z &= \frac{\epsilon_z}{\epsilon_x} = \frac{-0.167}{0.364} = -0.46 \\
+\end{align*}
+
+It's supposed to be that $\nu_y = \nu_z$ but I guess it's close enough right? lol

+## Direct Stresses and Shear Stresses
+
+![](./images/vimscrot-2021-11-01T10:35:47,339443980+00:00.png)
+
+- A direct stress acts normal to the surface
+- A shear stress acts tangential to the surface
+
+Shear stress is defined in the same way as direct stress but given the symbol $tau$ (tau):
+
+$$ \tau = \frac F A $$
+
+Shear strain is defined as the shear angle $\gamma$:
+
+$$ \gamma \approx \tan\gamma = {\frac x {L_0}} $$
+
+The shear modulus, $G$, is like Young's Modulus but for shear forces:
+
+$$ \tau = G\gamma $$
+
+## Relationship between Young's Modulus and Shear Modulus
+
+$$ G = \frac E {2(1+\nu)} $$
+
+$G \approx \frac E 3$ is a good approximation in a lot of engineering cases
