Last View of Saturn
Two days after its encounter with Saturn, Voyager 1 looked back on the planet from a distance of more than 5 million km. This view of Saturn has never been seen by an earth-based telescope, since the Earth is so close to the Sun only the sunlit face of Saturn can be seen. (Credit: Calvin J. Hamilton, Los Alamos National Laboratory)

Text: Physics by J.D.Cutnell and K.W.Johnson, Fourth Edition
Laboratory Manual: Can be purchased at The Printshop, 6 Decatur Str.
CALCULATORS: You can use your calculator during the examinations or quizzes. If you do not yet own a calculator, it is recommended that you acquire one that can use scientific notation, allow for parenthesis, and has trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. You will need a calculator for homework, quizzes, laboratories, and exams.
HOMEWORK: The required homework problems are listed in the Table below. Solving all of the problems is of decisive importance: Physics to a significant degree is problem solving. The problems should be solved before the next class meeting. Quizzes will be frequently given unannounced before the end of some classes. These quizzes are based on the homework given. The homework will not be collected and graded; it is listed for your consideration and benefit only.
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING: The course grade will be based on the appropriate weighting: Quizzes: 25%, Two midterm exams: 30% (15% each), Final Examination: 20%, Laboratory: 25%. The final exam is comprehensive but weighed more heavily toward the material at the end of the course.
