Textbooks

The manual for this course can be found on-line at
http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys273/manual/contents.html
You might want to look at a brief primer on uncertainties.
Another good reference is an Introduction to Statistics from Margaret in Cyberspace.
When you reach the Series RC Circuit experiment, you might want to read a description of exponential decay.

Lecture course

This course has an associated lecture course, College Physics III. The textbook for that course is Cutnell and Johnson, Fifth Edition. The labs are designed to provide hands-on experience with the material discussed in lecture.

Other resources

There is a Study Center in the College of Science, on the first floor of Building 8. A schedule posted outside the room lists times at which someone will be available to help with questions. You may also contact the Learning Development Center, in the Eastman Building, second floor. The Office of Special Services can arrange one-on-one tutorial sessions for qualified students.

If you miss a class meeting, in general, you will not have an opportunity to make up the work. If you wish to schedule a make-up, you must present me with a note explaining your absence, signed by your academic advisor and the chairman of your department. Without such a note, no make-up will be given.

If you have any special needs, you must inform me during the first week of classes. Otherwise, I may not be able to make arrangements in time to help you. Please contact me after class or at my office.

Materials you should bring to each session

paper and pen/pencils
