Physics 303L Spring08 (C. Chiu) 1/11/2007

 

Tentative lesson plan: Our textbook is Ohanian and Markert, Vol II.

o        We plan to cover the essentials of chapters 22, 23 and 24 in first 5 lectures.

o        From chapter 25 on, our plan is to cover one chapter per week.

o        There will be a brief preview on the chapter, on the Friday before.

o        Main lectures on the selected materials of the chapter will be on M and W. 

o        On Friday there will be more discussions on the chapter, and on selected hw-problems. There will be a brief preview on the next chapter,

 

Lesson below is tentative. For ongoing lessons and class announcements see the “Ongoing Lectures” – link on our course homepage.
