This page contains links to the course instructional materials, including lectures notes and problem assignments and solutions. Please remember to check the other class web pages for additional items. Any class handouts are located here, and this page contains links to useful physics web pages.
Following are links to the bullet-style notes developed for this
class. If for some reason you cannot download these documents at
home, use any of the general access computer labs on campus.
The lecture notes are listed in their order of presentation, with a
title that describes the topic, and should match the title in the
noteset. These notes generally follow the textbook chapters, with 3-4
pages of notes per chapter. Each noteset is 1 or 2 pages long.
Click on the link to view and download. The dates listed with each
noteset refer to the date when that noteset was discussed in class.
 
The lecture presentation
for Chapter 27 can be used as a study aid for this material.
