This is the second semester of algebra-based physics. Topics
covered include thermodynamics, electrostatics, electrodynamics,
magnetism,
and optics. If time permits, we will do a little special
relativity.
This course is designed primarily for health science majors, and that
is primarily who takes it.
You should feel free to ask a question at any time either in class
or out of class. I am around most of the day most days. I
can be reached at the e-mail address and phone number on my home page
(see link below). You can also get to a page showing my schedule,
including office hours, from the home page as well.
The grading goes as follows:
| Tests | 65% |
| Homework |
10% |
| Final Exam |
25% |
| TOTAL |
100% |
The text for the course is Physics,
7th edition, by Cutnell and Johnson. This is the same
text you used in PHYS 101. The homework questions and problems
will
be assigned from an on-line service called WebAssign.
The will
be on
Tuesday, May 8, 2007, from 8:00 - 10:00 am in Herak 257. It is a
