Weekly homework
The current week is identified below by the pointer ![[-->]](/images/pointright.gif) which advances at noon each Tuesday. Until then, the topics mentioned below the pointer are only an approximate plan that may change, reflecting what happens in class.
All homework is available to you through masteringphysics.com. Use your Brock ID/email and the code included
with the hardcopy of the textbook to register for "FW2013D2PHYS1P23" or "FW2013D2PHYS1P23-93". One of those codes should work. If you do not enter your six-character ID correctly, you will not get the credit for the homework - we have no way of fixing that.
