The book is available either as a normal hardcover text or as a two-volume paperback set. In Physics 103 we will cover Volume 1 of the two-volume set, and Volume 2 will be covered in Physics 104. If you plan to take Physics 104 either this summer or next fall you might want to buy the hardcover text or the boxed set. If you will not be taking Physics 104, you will need only Volume 1.
Labs begin the second week of class.
