COURSE NEWS
The
first class meeting is the lecture in the Physics Lecture Hall on
Thursday, January 20, 2011.
There are NO recitations the week of January 17. Recitations begin the
week of January 24.
Before the first lecture, Thursday January 20, 2011, you will need to have three items:
1) an Iclicker (for class participation)
2) a copy of the book
University Physics Vol 2-3 (Chapters 21-37) 12/E
Young, Freedman & Ford © 2008 | Addison-Wesley AND
3) a license for the online homework software Mastering Physics (otherwise you will not be able to do the homework! )
If you took Physics 227 this past fall, you should have all of this except perhaps Vol 3 of the book, which you will need to have after the first few weeks.
If you have an Iclicker from Physics 227 or another previous course, great! Just put in a fresh battery or keep one with you in case the old one dies in the middle of lecture.
The book is available new at the Rutgers bookstore, both on its own and in a bundle with the Mastering Physics license. Note: if you already have a MP license and login ID from a previous course, you do not need to buy another. For Physics 228, you need both Vol 2 and Vol 3.
The Mastering Physics course ID is PCOLEMANSPRING2011. After you log on with your userid and password, you will need to enter your Student ID: use your 9-digit Rutgers student ID number.

In this course, you will learn about the foundations of modern physics - foundations that are absolutely necessary for you to survive and compete in the rough-and-tumble technological world of the 21st century. As in the companion course, 227, it is a course in which we ask you to think conceptually, to be curious and open minded. The object of the course is not to accummulate a list of equations into which you plug numbers: it is a unique opportunity for you to ponder and learn about the deep principles that govern the quantum world in which you live. We look forward to having you in our class
and will meet you all at the first class on Thursday, January 20th.
