This section contains the homework assignments for the course, which are assigned and organized by topics covered in the lecture notes. Many of the assignments have 1.63J/2.21J listed as the course number. This is the new course number as of Spring 2004, when the course will be offered as a joint course with the Mechanical Engineering Department, as part of an iCampus school-wide modular program on fluid mechanics at MIT.
