Random Class Notes Collection II
Three different lecture note excerpts
1. Physics 101 – Classical Mechanics
• Newton's First Law: An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by
a net external force. • Newton's Second Law: F = ma; the net force on an object equals
mass times acceleration. • Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction. • Kinematics: Equations for constant acceleration: v = v■ + at; s = s■
+ v■t + ½at².
2. Organic Chemistry – Functional Groups
• Alkanes: Saturated hydrocarbons with single C–C bonds, general formula C■H■■■■. •
Alkenes & Alkynes: Unsaturated hydrocarbons with C=C and C≡C bonds respectively; name
according to longest chain and suffix -ene or -yne. • Alcohols: Contain –OH group; named
with suffix -ol, and numbered for position. • Carbonyls: Aldehydes (–CHO) and ketones
(C=O); suffix -al for aldehydes, -one for ketones.
3. Computer Science – Data Structures
• Arrays: Fixed-size contiguous memory; O(1) access by index, O(n) insertion/deletion. •
Linked Lists: Nodes with data and pointer; O(n) access, O(1) insertion/deletion at head. •
Stacks & Queues: Abstract data types; LIFO for stacks, FIFO for queues, both supporting
O(1) push/pop or enqueue/dequeue. • Trees: Hierarchical structure; binary search trees
allow O(log n) search, insertion, deletion when balanced.
