PHY2054  Summer 2010
Homework:  Recommended Questions and Problems

REMEMBER:
if you don't do the homework, it's quite unlikely that you'll learn enough physics to pass this course.

Listed below are homework questions and problems selected from your textbook chapters.  
These are  a minimum number that you should work out in order to have a reasonable chance of earning  a C in this course.
You should do more if you aspire to a higher grade.  Here's why:

You won't understand the physical concepts sufficiently to apply them to the many different problems on the exams if you haven't developed the necessary problem-solving and thinking skills that are developed by doing homework.

It's a lot of work, but I urge you: keep up with these assignments---last minute cramming  does not work in cumulative, quantitative courses like physics.

Trouble in solving problems??  Please seek help from your instructors, your TA, or your friends. The Teaching Center also provides physics tutoring services.

Answers to odd-numbered problems are at the end of the textbook.

See the WebAssign page for the schedule and deadlines.
