The Meetings are listed in the order in which they occur.
The Lecture Reading and most of the Homework (HW) Assignments are from, the course text book, University Physics, 11th edition, by Young and Freedman. You will be using Mastering Physics on-line assignment system to see and do your homework. Some of the homework listed on MasteringPhysics is to be handed in on paper at the start of lecture. The MasteringPhysics Course ID is PHYS23062005SUM1. Here is a copy of the homework assignments.
The Lab Reading and Assignments can be down loaded at the physics 2306 lab home-page.
