Trout fishing. No other sport, indeed, no other type of fishing itself, is shrouded with such mystique. The art of trout fishing (as any good angler calls it) has been held up to nearly mythological proportions. When one trout fisherman discovers another, an instant fraternity forms, a bonding of unequaled proportions -- and rightly so. But if you go to grasp the reasons for this bonding and immediate recognition, you'd find that they are rather elusive. Perhaps the fraternal society forms instantly because every trout fisherman recalls the tranquil setting that surrounds trout fishing. If you've ever gone, think back to the serene, fine quality of water that is at the core of a successful trip.

This is a laboratory manual intended for physics majors to learn basic circuits and microcontrolling with the Arduino. The manual assumes the students know nothing about circuits at the beginning and progresses through Operational Amplifiers. The Arduino labs begin with an introduction and walk through basic sensors and motor control before ending with inter-board communication. The ultimate goal is that students should be able to design and build their own basic equipment by the end of the semester.

Do you know what the most profitable skill is for running a small business? It's not keeping the shelves stocked. It's not managing employees. It's not even having a good product. No. The most important skill is marketing your business. Why? Well, the only time you can bring money into your business is if you sell something. You can't stock the shelves unless you have money to buy the stuff to put on the shelves. You can't pay your employees unless you have money come in the business from selling something. A good product might as well be a piece of junk in a box if nobody knows it exists. That's where marketing comes in. It's how you communicate to thepublic that you have a good prudct, that you offer a good consumer experience and that they shoudl buy stuff from you, rather than one of your competitors.
