The current week is identified below by the pointer which advances at the end of each week. Until then, the topics mentioned below the pointer are only an approximate plan that may change, reflecting what happens in class.
Week 0. Before coming to class: review your PHYS 1P21/1P91 notes
WeBWorK online homework assignment 1.Bulk properties of matter
Learning objectives: establish comfort with elementary algebraic manipulations
(moving a factor from one side of an equation to another; expressing any unknown
in terms of other knowns; recognizing the nature of the dependence on a particular
factor and, therefore, on how the answer scales with changes in this factor);
understand how the material's property - e.g., Young's modulus- translates into a
particular response in a given piece of this material under a given force; how density
changes - or not - as the dimensions of an object are scaled, etc.
