Midterm Exam

Final Exam

Homework 

Homework will be posted most Fridays and will be due in class the following Friday.

Science is a collaborative enterprise, and you are welcome to work with partners on the homework! However, you should make sure that you understand every aspect of every problem, and you should write up and hand in your own solution!

Your solution should be legible and include all calculations together with explanations of what you're doing. The TA is not responsible for deciphering unreadable or unintelligible responses! You may not get any credit if you just state the final answer.

On the quantitative problems, if your final answer is obviously wrong (e.g., you find that the radius of the observablue universe is 3 cm), comment! Otherwise, you may not get partial credit!
