Text: Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 6th Edition, by Raymond Serway and John Jewett, Thomson—Brooks/Cole, 2004.
Topics and General Information: This course will introduce the laws of motion, inertia, acceleration, force, energy, momentum, angular momentum, conservation
laws, rotational and oscillatory motion, gravitation, and thermodynamics.
Attendance/Participation: You are expected to attend and participate in all lectures and recitations for the section in which you are enrolled; your grade will depend in
part upon your attendance and participation.
Electronic Student Participation (ESP): You will be expected to take part in electronic, real-time classroom activities that require the use of a ResponseCard ™
infrared wireless keypad student response interface. You must bring the device to class in order to receive credit for attendance and participation by the electronic
recording of your presence and participation. During the first week you will be requested to supply the six digit identification number of your ResponseCard ™
(located on its back), and you will be assigned a one to three digit participant number that will identify you in the Electronic Student Participation (ESP) protocol of this
course thereafter.

Unit 1 Session 1
Exams: There will be three 80-minute exams during the semester, to be given at 4:30 p.m. on Monday afternoons, and a comprehensive final exam, to be given at 4:30
p.m. on Monday, December 13. Exam questions will be based on lecture material, material contained in the text and in the homework assignments. You must show all
of your work on your exam papers for full credit. Questions pertaining to the grading of exam questions and problems must be directed to the instructor in writing
within two weeks after the exams are returned. There will be no makeup exams.
Homework: All homework will be posted, collected, and graded via the internet. You will also be required to keep a homework notebook with your written solutions,
which will be collected weekly and graded. You must download your assignment each week, work the problems, and submit your solutions to the server by the due date
indicated on the server (usually 5:00 p.m. Friday the week after the assigned material is covered in class). Your neatly written solutions to all the homework problems
must put in the mailbox labeled “1710 – Matteson “ near the south end of the 2nd floor hallway in the Physics Building by the same due date and time as for the
homework on the server. Details of accessing the homework server will be presented separately. Address all problems with the homework server to your instructor.
Selected homework problems will be discussed in recitation.
Grade: The grading in the course will be based on the total points earned from exams, homework, and lecture and recitation attendance/short quizzes. The point values
for each category are given below:
Exams
150 points/regular exam;
300 points for the final
Homework

Lab Credit: You must enroll separately in Physics 1730 for laboratory science credit.
The University of North Texas Department of Physics will make reasonable adjustments to ensure equal opportunity for qualified persons with disabilities to
participate in all physics programs and activities. Please see instructor if special accommodations are required.

Dr. M’s Expectations Regarding Civility
• Treat all persons with the respect you desire in return.
• Respect yourself and practice integrity and
ethical behavior.
• Avoid all coarse, demeaning or profane language.
• Think and act professionally and responsibly.
• Engage this subject with whole-hearted enthusiasm.

Why study physics?
“The scientist does not study nature because it is
useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he
delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not
beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature
were not worth knowing, life would not be worth
living.”
