These should probably be topics you cover in there.
I believe that "Basic Ballistics" is the course title, but the paper was specific to "The Evolution of the Bullet", which has an effect on the ballistics when you consider shape, length, and cross-sectional density affecting ballistic coefficients. Design and material changes over time would affect that, too. For example, Minie balls had a hollow cone in the bottom as a design feature that was intended for rapid reloading and ramming home, but when the charge went off the expanding gasses pushed that skirt open to more effectively catch the rifling and improve ballistic performance.
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
