[Doc Al]

It says right on the webpage:
The notes are based on lectures given to final year undergraduates during the fall of 2004 and 2005.

It's meant as a text for upper level undergrads, not high school students. (At least not the typical high school student.)

[Doc Al]

The r with a dot means the derivative of r with respect to time, which is the velocity.
