Firstly, thanks for helping me graduate with a respectable GPA -- and more importantly, helping me really grok intro physics.
I'm now a high school physics teacher, and I've noticed something really interesting and weird about my students. If they have a formula like y = mx, they're fine; if that formula becomes c = lambda*nu, they don't take it as well. So here's my question: In what ways can I help my students become comfortable with math in a physics-y context?
