Course
Information
The course meets with a live lecture
Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:55-2:50 PM on Zoom (meeting
information has been distributed to enrolled
students by email). The lectures will be recorded
and available the same day for review and study.
There will be one recitation session per week, also
on Zoom. Weekly homework on Webassign will be
due on Tuesdays at 11:59 PM. Professor Rabe will
have Zoom office hours twice a week, on Sundays
6:00-7:30 and on Mondays.
The main goal of the course is to give students a
solid grounding in electromagnetism at an elementary
level, combining an understanding of the main
principles and techniques, the ability to solve
problems, and mastery of relevant mathematics
appropriate to an honors level course. We will
accomplish this through systematic study of the
required textbook. Recitations will
review the material in the previous two lectures,
focusing on problem solving. Before each recitation,
you will have 2-3 warm-up problems to prepare. At
the end of each recitation, there will be a
ten-minute quiz on the material discussed. Homeworks
will be assigned weekly in WebAssign. There will be
two hour exams and a closed-book final exam. Grades
are computed using 20% for homework (lowest 2
dropped), 15% for recitation quizzes (lowest 2
dropped), 15% for the first hour exam, 20% for the
second hour exam and 30% for the final exam. You
will be able to access your grades for hw, quizzes
and exams in the physics department gradebook.
Necessary materials for the course are the same as
those for Honors Analytical Physics I:
1) a copy of the book Halliday, Resnick, Walker:
Fundamentals of Physics (earlier editions are fine)
2) a license for the online homework software
WebAssign (otherwise you will not be able to do the
homework! )
