Office: Physics 231
Office phone: 919-660-6972
Office hours: Tuesday, Wednesday 3:00-4:00 pm or by appointment
Textbook: Vector Calculus, third edition, by S. J. Colley
Course meeting time and place: MWF 11:55am - 12:45pm, Physics 299

The first in-class test was on Wednesday September 20 and covered Sections 1.1-1.5 (not torque) and 3.1-3.2 (not Kepler's Laws); in other words, the material covered by the first two problem sets.

The second test was on Monday October 23 and covered Chapters 2 and 4; in other words, the material covered by HW 3 through HW 5.

The third test was on Friday November 17 and covered Section 1.7 (except standard bases for cylindrical and spherical coordinates), Section 3.3, Section 3.4 (except "Other coordinate formulations"), and Chapter 5 (except moments of inertia from Section 5.6); in other words, the material covered by HW 6 through HW 8.

The fourth test was on Wednesday December 6 and covered Chapter 6 and Sections 7.1 and 7.2; in other words, the material covered by HW 9 and HW 10.

The final examination will be on Thursday December 14 from 7-10 pm in Physics 205. There will be an optional review session for the final on Wednesday December 13 from 4-5 pm in Physics 119.

My office hours for the week of December 11 (finals week) are Tuesday 3-4 pm and Wednesday 3-4 pm, as usual.

• Course syllabus

Homework assignments:

• HW 1, due Friday September 8; HW 1 answers
• HW 2, due Friday September 15 (note: for Section 3.1, problem 24, only do part (a)); HW 2 answers
• HW 3, due Friday September 29; HW 3 answers
• HW 4, Wednesday October 11; HW 4 answers
• HW 5, due Wednesday October 18; HW 5 answers
• HW 6, due Friday October 27; HW 6 answers
• HW 7, due Friday November 3; HW 7 answers (for the solution to 5.4 problem 24, you'll need a hard copy of the handout)
• HW 8, due Friday November 10; HW 8 answers (for the solution to 5.6 problems 32-34, you'll need a hard copy of the handout)
• HW 9, due Monday November 20; HW 9 answers. Erratum for Section 6.1 problem 22: the orientation should be such that as one travels along C, the y-coordinate is increasing at the moment that one passes through (2,0,4). Also, you don't need to do Section 6.5 problems 38 and 39 (they were done in class).
• HW 10 (last problem set to be turned in), due Friday December 1
• HW 11 (not to be turned in; for solutions, you'll need a hard copy of the handout)
