Welcome to Physics 100C webpage.
UPDATES: in reverse chronological order
- March 31: Change in policy - during the discussion session we will be breaking into small groups and solving problems, including (sometimes) upcoming homework problems. Therefore, collaborations on homeworks is now allowed. Participation in discussion sessions is optional.
- March 31: Lecture 1 Notes posted.
Discussion session: Fridays 11:00-11:50, WLH 2110
- March 25: Syllabus has been posted.
