PHY 3101 - Modern Physics - Fall 2019


Homework (see Canvas page for problems/solutions)

Preliminary: We will add homework and bonus problems after the course is underway.

Advice: Homework is a rewarding activity for those who work at it. We encourage students to talk to one another about the problems, but you must enter the answers yourself. It is extremely important to work out how an answer was obtained, because that is the key for doing well on the quizzes and exams.

HW due dates/times are discussed on the overview page. Note the following points about the homework.

  • HW sheets must be stapled and will not be accepted if crimped together. Borrow a stapler if you need to.
  • PRINT your full name CLEARLY at the top of each sheet. Put your UFID next to your name on the first page.
  • START each problem at the TOP of a new page for readability. Use good penmanship and be clear about where your answer is. The grader has a busy schedule and doesn't have time to spend on messy homework.
