    • RESOURCES:
  • Textbook: Knight, Physics for Scientist & Engineers: A Strategic Approach

  • Reference: Study Guide

  • Office Hours - Don't wait until you are in trouble in the class. When you don't understand, ask! If you cannot get to office hours for some reason, contact your instructor after class or by email to set up a time to meet - or just stop by the office.

  • Learning Center - Walk-in help center for lower divsion science and math courses, located in Building 52, Room A03. Staffed by professors and physics majors. Stop by the Physics Department or clip here for the current Learning Center hours.

  • Private Tutoring: Some physics majors can be hired to tutor lowerdivision courses. Inquire in the physics' lounge in Building 52, Room E25, or stop by the Physics Department for a current "Private Tutoring" list.

  • Posted Solutions and Hints - Selected problem hints and/or solutions will be posted on the bulletin boards just outside 52-E24.
