PHYS:1200 Lecture Presentations, Review Questions & Exercises
The lecture presentations are posted here as PowerPoint
presentations (.ppt) and in multi-page PDF format (.pdf).
For each lecture, a Review and
Exercise assignment is also posted. The assignments will not be collected or
graded,
but are provided as an aid in learning the lecture material.
NOTE that the lecture presentations may
sometimes be revised slightly before class. The revised presentations will
be posted before class. You should download the updated presentations when
preparing for the exams.
