Communication of homework assignments, schedules, and other informations will be done via this web site as well as in the lecture. This page can be reached from the instructor's homepage, from the Physics department home page (http://www.physics.sunysb.edu) and from the university Instructional Computing Course infomation page.
Homework will be assigned each week. It will be collected for grading in the following week. Homework assignments will be posted on the web. Although cooperative learning is encouraged, you are required to solve the problems on your own and to consult others only after giving it a serious try yourself. The final calculations and solutions have to be done by you alone. Copied or late homeworks will not be accepted and will count as zero.

Below is a list of approved calculators. This list was formulated by going to the web sites of the companies suggested by students and searching their presently available models for those calculators that are capable enough (trig functions, log, square root) but do not store alphanumerics. Older models might also be acceptable and will have to be cleared by the exam proctors.
