Re-recorded lecture from Monday, January 28. I cover the 2D Uniform Gravitational Field (parabolic trajectory) problem solution. I also reviewed linearization and the state transition matrix because I felt that I didn’t cover them adequately in lecture 1. We will pick back up with additional review of orbital mechanics before moving on to observations.

The problem solution can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/simpsonchristo/Soln-HW1-SimpsonAerospace.

The pdf write-up of the solution and the slides can be found here:
