Teaching
Courses taught in fall 2004
General Physics II (PHY2049)
- Syllabus
- Practice tests for PHY2048 and PHY2049 are given on the web site by Dr. Robin Jordan. Note that these tests do not reflect the style of questions in the exams of PHY2048 or PHY2049. They nevertheless represent a good source for practice, since they provide immediate feedback on-line.
- Problem sheet: vector algebra
- Download Simulations of Physics process here (as a ZIP file)
- Extra credit: deadline for submission December 1st, 2004 (download guide lines and problem question here)
- Scanned questions and solutions to practice test are here: (1a and 1b, 2a and 2b)
