THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE IS FOR THE EXTRA THURSDAY ENGINEERING PHYSICS LECTURE. IT CONTAINS THE APPLICATIONS OF CALCULUS TO PHYSICS AND IS SOMEWHAT MORE ADVANCED THAN THE ABOVE SCHEDULE. (Back to Top)

TEXTBOOK: Same as above.

TESTS: There will be (nearly) weekly quizzes on this material. These are the engineering physics quizzes described in the section on grading. Credit for engineering physics requires a separate passing grade on these quizzes.
