2 Prerequisities: A knowledge of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus is needed. Your primary prerequisite is your willingness to work very hard in this fast paced course. Homework: The homework problems are indicated by an asterisk in the detailed schedule enclosed. The problems without the asterisk are recommendations for the TA to go over in class. The TA is also expected to go over other non-homework problems that are of his or her choosing. Homework is due the next school day after they are assigned. Please leave the homework on the desk in the lecture room when you enter. Homework assignments will not be accepted after 9:15 AM each day. Examinations: There will be three 60-min examinations on days indicated in the syllabus. These examinations will consist of 5 problems. Each in-term exam will test mainly the material indicated for the test but typically it will also overlap with the previous assignments. The final exam will be 2 hours long and will consist of 12 problems. The final exam will cover all subjects discussed in the course. For the examinations you will need to use a calculator. No books and no cheat sheets are allowed. Important formulae will be provided on the blackboard. Exams should be written in non-erasable pen. We are unable to give make up exams. If you miss an exam because of a medically certified illness, allowance will be made for that fact when your final grade is determined In-class work: Most lectures will include up to a 10 minute period assigned for students to work on one problem that relates to the material which is currently being covered. Students are expected to work on it either independently or together with their colleagues. These works will be collected primarily as a check of attendance and a measure of participation in class. No work returned or lack of attendance will count as 0 points. Any work done, independent of its quality, will count as 1 point. 2

3 Grades: Your grade is determined from the total score which has the following ingredients 1. in-class work 10% 2. conference/homework 20% 3. two best out of three mid-term exams total of 35% (no adjustments that depend on the mean of the exams) 4. final exam 35% It is expected that the final average grade will correspond to B. Attendance: Is required despite the Polish accent you ll be exposed to during lectures. Office hours: Marek Cieplak: Immediately after each lecture and by appointment. Students with disabilities: Any student with a disability is urged to see Prof. Cieplak early in the semester to make necessary arrangements to support a successful learning experience. 3

4 WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT SCHEDULE The dates refer to the lecture day, the numbers indicate sections in the textbook, P indicates problems from the textbook, and the asterisks mark the assigned homework. The schedule is binding for assignments even if they are given before the lecture on the subject is delivered. Reading the chapter would be expected in such cases. The lecture subjects may not stick exactly to the listing (e.g., a subject matter may be started on one day and concluded on the next). 5/23 Introduction, Measurement ; P 1.4, 15, 26, 34 Motion along a straight line ; P 2.6, 34 5/24 Vectors ; Motion in two and three dimensions ; P 2.20, 2.30, 4.3, 8, 18, 33, 39 5/25 Force and Motion I ; P4.45, 50, 58, P 5.8, 21, 29, 35 5/26 Force and Motion II ; P 6.8, 16, 46, 70 Kinetic energy and work ; P 7.4, 11, 23 5/27 Conference: Vectors 3.3; P 3.8, 19, 34, P 5.38, 50, 67 5/31 Potential Energy ; P 8.4, 8, 16, 26, 48, 60 6/1 Center of Mass and Momentum ; P 9.2, 5, 11, 15, 21, 28, 37 6/2 Collisions ; P 9.50, 58, 62, 65, 87, 104, 116, 121 Rotation /3 Examination I; chapters 1 8 6/6 Rotation ; P 10.22, 30, 36, 39, 50, 61 Rolling, torque and angular momentum P11.4 6/7 Equilibrium and elasticity ; P 11.27, 11.50, 52, 64, 12.5, 7, 10, 34, 52 6/8 Gravitation ; ; P 12.23, 29, 13.8, 20, 33, 55 Conference: Gravitation 13.4,
