This is an introductory course in which lectures serve to emphasize
and explain key concepts as well as build problem solving capabilities.
Demonstrations are an important part of the lectures. The textbook
for the class is Serway and Faughn, College Physics, 7th Edition,
Vol. 1, Thomson/Brooks/Cole.
We meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 10 weeks (minus two
UC holidays). This comprises 23 one-hour lectures and 5 quizzes
(on alternate Mondays). Weekly exercises from the course textbook
are assigned and reviewed during biweekly problem sessions. The
importance of working the assigned homework exercises cannot be
overemphasized!
