Text: ``Classical Mechanics'', by Joel A. Shapiro, dated August 28, 2009. It is available as described here.

Homework: There will normally be a homework assignment each week. Late homeworks will not be accepted without special permission, generally requested in advance. Homeworks will be graded and will be a significant contribution to your final grade (30-35%).

Exams: There will be one hour exam and a final exam. They will probably be in-class exams on which you will be permitted to use three books or notebooks, and a calculator.

Class Times: The class meets in ARC 107, Mondays and Thursdays, 2nd period. (10:20-11:40). Classes will start promptly, so please come on time.

My book covers all the required material, but there are many other books which give alternate presentations or treat subjects in more depth. A list of some of them are here

Syllabus: The material to be covered is what is in the version of my book, with some adjustments as we go along. The syllabus is here.
