tips: besides reviewing reading, lectures, homework, and
review problems, I highly recommend working through as many extra
textbook problems as you can. Solutions to many problems are in
the Student Solutions Manual (on reeserve in the Physics Library if you
don't have it). Guidelines: Calculators *are* allowed. I will provide constants and integrals but I expect you to know key formulae, as listed below. |
