Problem Assignments, Phy 205, Fall 2007

Problems are due at the beginning of class on the indicated date, usually Friday at the start of class.

The chapter numbers are from Fishbane et al. unless otherwise indicated, and the problems are from the list of problems there.

When you turn these in, staple the pages together.
label each problem with chapter and number.
check the units of your result (if applicable).
check the plausibility of your result.
neatness and organization count.
Use some words when you present something to be read.

              use equations (2-10) and (2-14) followed by anti-derivatives.

        Note: 1. Do problems algebraically; enter numbers at the end.
              2. Part of the grade for every problem from now on: check dimensions
                 and check the final result for at least one special case of the
                 parameters of the problem.
