Textbook: The Ideas of Physics, Third Edition by Douglas C. Giancoli.
The textbook is required, has been unchanged for several years, and can be found with a variety of different formats. There are many copies available second hand in auction sites and online booksellers. The book should not cost you a lot of money - $20 should buy a decent copy.

You are required to obtain a H-ITT clicker for use as a student response system. These may be found in the Bookstore.
Please follow the link for information about obtaining and registering your H-ITT clicker: HITT Registration

Here are some notes that I made for the part 3 exam.

Note that daily reading assignments and the solutions to relevant homework problems are given on the homework web-page. Follow the Homework link above, on the left.

You are expected to do the reading assignments before coming to class. Suggested homework problems are given, along with their solutions. It is best if you first do the reading, then solve the problems, and then check your answers against the solutions. If you keep up with the reading and homework problems then you should be successful in this class.
