A detailed breakup of the exercises in the homework sets for each
week/class can be found in the Mastering Physics course.
The website
of Dr. Ford [click here] has a list of many
exams from previous years. I recommend you look
at these before each exam.
Furthermore, there is a list of
solutions of the even-numbered problems [click here] (might be
incomplete).
If you would like to access the lectures slides (pdf) please send
an email to the instructor and you might receive the username and
password. Students can find the username and password on the slides
in the first class. All material on this website is copyrighted by
