Physics 131-4 Homework Problems and Internet Tutorials

Below is a list of the homework problems and outside readings (on reserve in the Science Library) that you are responsible for. Others may be assigned in class. A VERY effective way to study physics is to do the homework as the material is covered in class and then do additional problems when you study for an exam. Solutions for the following problems and any others that are assigned in class are on reserve in the Science Library or on the Internet at http://www.science.urich.edu/~gilfoyle/genphys.html.
