Make sure you pick up the handout containing:
Course Handbook
Syllabus (course schedule and assigned homework)
Starting Equations
Special Homework assignments.
If you are in the online lecture section, you can pick this
handbook up during your first recitation.
For those of you who don’t have the course handbook yet, the
homework assignment for tomorrow is on the next slide.
Make sure you record your recitation instructor’s name and
your recitation section letter on the first page of the handout.

You can find homework assignments online here:

“Official Starting Equations” are available here:

Your recitation instructor will call students to the board
tomorrow to present their homework solutions to the class.
If you are called on to do boardwork, you may use your
calculator, a blank handout problem sheet (which we will
provide), and the starting equation sheet. Nothing else. We do
understand that this is the first week of class.
Homework help will be available in the Physics Learning
Center (PLC), rooms 129 and 130 Physics, from 2-4:30 pm and
6-8:30 pm.
The Physics 2135 Final Exam will be from 3:00-5:00 PM on
Wednesday, May 11, 2016. Make sure you have nothing else
scheduled during this time period!
Go to http://physics.mst.edu/currentcourses/labs/index.html to get a lab
schedule. There are no labs this week. Odd-numbered
sections meet next week (3L05 is odd, 3L06 is even).
You must purchase a lab manual. Go to the department
office, room 102, to purchase your lab manual! The cost is
$25.00. Do not ask me for a lab manual; I do not have
them!
You will receive a lab grade of zero (and lose 15% of the
possible course points) if you don’t have a lab manual!

For several semesters prior to
this, we used a custom edition of
the text (13th edition). You may
use that text. Here is a table
showing the correspondence
between chapter numbers in Vol.
14 and the custom edition.
If you use the 13th edition or the
custom text, you must follow the
instructions here; otherwise you
will not work the correct
homework problems!
This semester we study electromagnetic forces and their
consequences.
These forces are responsible for holding together living
and man-made things, as well as all things in nature, so I
suppose they are worth studying…
…not to mention the fact that the technology that
dominates your life depends on electromagnetic forces.
