Times
The times and places for lectures, sections, and the course center.
Class schedule
The detailed schedule for lectures, laboratories, tutorials, and exams showing
content, dates of exams, reading assignments and homework due dates.
Laboratory
and Tutorials
Includes a guide to the character, structure, and requirements for the laboratory
and tutorials, as well as the lab handouts.
Lecture Slides
The slides used in the PowerPoint presentations in lecture can be found here
in a format suitable for note-taking in lecture. The slides should (mostly)
be available the night before the lecture. The clicker questions
used in lecture will be put up at some point after the lecture.
Old Exams
The exams from last year and this year's mid-semester makeup. (To be posted
at appropriate times.)
Readings and Links
Occasional reading assignments (assigned in homework) or links to useful websites,
and software used in class. Publicly available links will be on the "Readings
and Links" webpage in the open web. Other useful materials that I am allowed
to use in this class but not distribute publicly are in your blackboard
site. Be sure you know how to log in to this site as there will be some required
materials only made available there (such as homework solutions).
Homework The weekly homework assignments can be obtained by clicking below. Once the assignments have been collected, the solutions will be posted on Blackboard. Typically, solutions will be posted on Sundays. Partial postings may be made, a problem at a time.
