I have selected a well-written text, as described below. I am asking you to
read the assigned chapters and sections each week. Pay special attention
to the end-of-chapter problems. If you need more practice than the
homework assignment provides, work similar problems. Study the
solutions in your text of typical problems. Understand and use the
problem solution techniques provided in the text. This is a
non-calculus text. Feel free to use calculus where appropriate for
problem solving and the related theory. Reading the text will provide
you with a much more complete and fine-tuned understanding of physics
than I have time to present in the lectures and you will have in your
notes.
