In this semester we hope to give you the background and execution of 20th century revolutions in physics. We want to further develop your physical intuition, to extend your physics experience more deeply, especially into relativity and quantum mechanics, to enhance your capacity for solving problems both qualitatively and quantitatively, and for you to understand the motivation and process of the development of modern physics. If you have a question, please ask it. If you have a comment, please make it. Even an anonymous note under my door or in my mailbox is fine.
Communication is the essence of the classroom experience.
I am pleased to see you any time you can find me. I encourage you to email me. I usually read my email at home and at the office. Assumed Knowledge You will need to maintain a working knowledge of the physics and mathematics at the level of physics 201-202, and calculus. Differential equations is also a help but is by no means necessary.
