Lab 1 / Wed 15 Jan
On Wednesday, we'll do a lab on uncertainty analysis.
You don't need to print this out, just read it before Wednesday's class. You can print what you need in the classroom when you arrive. Please just print one copy per group, you'll be working in groups of 3-4.

Webassign / Textbook
Some of you have been wondering, and I wasn't crystal clear about it - you don't need a WebAssign code with your textbook. Your homework is purely pencil & paper type stuff.
If you already got a WebAssign code with your book, the chances are extremely high that someone in one of the PH105 sections could use it, or you could just try to exchange it.

Reading for Friday
For Friday, the reading is Halliday, Resnick, and Walker Ch. 2 (motion along a straight line). You should also skim Ch. 1 (physics & measurement) to make sure it all makes sense - most of it should be review I suspect, and most of those topics will come up naturally as the semester progresses.
If you're looking for a little something more, you can check out the Fenyman Lectures on Physics, specifically Volume 1, Ch. 8. Much of the supplemental reading I'll post will be from the Feynman lectures (called 'FLP' on the schedule).

Homework 1
Here is your first homework set. Note that there are multiple due dates - you have two problems due at the start of class 13 Jan, one due at the start of class on 15 Jan, and the rest are due by the end of the day on 17 Jan. Also note that I would like you to use the problem template format when turning in homework.
Course intro slides
Here are the slides I'll use at the start of the first class to go over the course format, etc.
