Notes Regarding Schedule for Physics 107

  1. Homework will be due on Thursdays at midnight (although it is shown as Friday here), except for the week after Thanksgiving and the week after fall break.
  2. Having a test in another course on the same day will not excuse you from taking the tests in this course on schedule (although in extreme circumstances, such as an exam in Tucker from 12-1, a brief delay will be allowed). If there are any extracurricular activities which may conflict, please contact me as far in advance as possible.
  3. The Labs start the week of September 1st. It is very important for students to look over the lab before going to the lab session.
  4. There are no Labs on Thanksgiving week, nor the week of Fall Break.

Some of the topics to be covered include
