PHY 3101 - Modern Physics - Fall 2015


Homework

Preliminary: I 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.

Important: All homework is due Friday by 4PM, before the mailroom is closed (it is up to you to get the homework in before the room closes because the grader is unable to get the homework in any other way). The only exceptions are the dates shown where the homework is due the following Monday.
