PHY3101 Homework

Introduction to Modern Physics - Spring 2008

Homework Assignments:
Homework is due in the classroom at the beginning of class on Monday. You are automatically granted a no-cost extension until 4:30pm of the same day. If your homework is late, then hand it in to me in my office, 2071, or slide it under my office door. Any homework submitted after 4:30pm on the due day but before 4:30pm of the following day will be graded at half-credit. No homework will be accepted past this second 4:30pm deadline.

Do not put any homework in my mailbox. It will not be graded.

The assignments below are accurate at least for the next week. But, they are generally tentative and might change.

Please take a look at the Math self-assessment. This describes the expected level of mathematical sophistication for this course.

Note:
The weekly reading assignments should be completed by the beginning of the week.

PLEASE....
Write your name and Gatorlink Name clearly at the top of your HW assignment.
