Week 1 Highlights:

Welcome to Physics 2!
First lecture is Mon Aug 23, 2004 in Duane Physics G-1B20.
Recitation sections will meet Tuesday the first week of classes.

The first LON-CAPA is due this Friday Aug 27. (It's mostly review. See below for login notes) In the future, please note that CAPA will be due Thursday night (in fact technically Fri at 8AM), not Friday night!

The first recitation homework problems will be due in your recitation section next week (Tues Aug 31) Click on the 'Assignments' link on the left of the screen, to get all assignments each week. (There are generally several different things you need to do each week: CAPA homework, a long answer writeup, tutorial homework, and tutorial pretests.) All are on a regular schedule, but check the assignment page if yo're not sure what's due when!

Reading for this week:

Chapter 22 and 23 of Halliday, Resnick and Walker (6E), on electric charge and electric fields.
