Homework:
There will be weekly homework assignments, consisting of both graded and ungraded work. In addition, there will be ungraded worksheets to be completed based on group work done in class. All assignments may be done in groups, but must be turned in in your own writing (or, for computer-based assignments, with your own printout). All resources used (members of your group; copies of previous years' assignments; library work) must be cited and may affect the amount of credit given. (Library work counts in your favor; copying someone else's work does not...)

Final: (Monday, 6/8/98, 12 PM)
The final exam will be closed book.

Prerequisites:
Students are expected to have some familiarity with Newton's equations of motion and Maxwell's equations as well as the underlying (simple) vector calculus.
Students are further expected to have a computer account in the Department of Physics, as well as a separate account, at UCS or elsewhere, for email. Access to Weniger 412 after hours is useful, as is access to Netscape from there or elsewhere.

Postscript:
The Postscript in the last week of the term is a required part of this course.

Students with Special Needs:
Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any medical information which the instructor should know of, or who need special arrangements in the event of evacuation, should discuss this with the instructor as soon as possible.
