This is the schedule for the Summer 2002 term of Physics 222. The details are subject to change. You should begin the Homework problems listed for each chapter as soon as the lectures begin that topic. Do not wait until the chapter is finished, or you will get behind. When reading each chapter, try to answer as many of the Questions at the end of the chapters as possible to test your understanding. If you find you don't understand something, you should bring this up at the recitations. Target dates are shown for finishing each homework set. This shows the final recitation date when you can expect that material to be discussed. Answers to the even numbered problems and questions will be posted after this date.
