Comment: A key thing to learn in physics is how to solve problems you have never seen before by applying a few simple principles. Most of you are getting pretty good at this, but many of you still need to work on drawing the pictures that will sometimes solve the problem for you. A sketch can help you ask yourself the questions required to address a broader, not-so-well focussed question. (Part of answering a question is to ask yourself "what question might I answer that will help me to deal with this one?".) If you are new to my class, you should also review the comments on my course preview page.

  • Unit 1 - hour exam on 9/17 (Thur)
  • Unit 2 - hour exam on 10/2 (Fri)
  • Unit 3 - hour exam on 10/22 (Thur)
  • Unit 4 - hour exam on 11/6 (Fri)
  • Unit 5 - hour exam on 11/25 (Wed)
  • Unit 6 - no exam (covered only on final).

Note: Extra handouts are normally placed in a folder outside my office, SM 290.

My comments on the calculus requirements for my physics courses.

My comments on the calculators you might consider using.

Note that this class has passing General Physics I (PHY2048) with a C as a prerequisite
and that PHY 2049L must also be taken at the same time as PHY 2049 unless you already have earned at least a "C" in it.

You might look at my one-page summary of what you should still know from PHY2048.
