STUDY GUIDE for PHYS 2050 FINAL
Dr. Berrah
Below is a study guide that should assist you in preparing for the final exam.
The best way to prepare for the exam is to understand the concepts and principle,
giving you the ability to apply them to any problem. Solving the homework, quizzes and
exams problems correctly will prepare you for the final.
