There will be two midterm exams and a cumulative final exam. All exams will be closed book. Relevant physical constants and formulae will be provided for you. You may bring a standard scientific-type calculator. (Palm computers or organizers are not allowed.) Cellular phones and other communication devices are not allowed.
The exams will be based on the assigned reading in the textbook, the material covered in lecture, the homework assignments, the recitations, and the laboratories. Exams will have a very strong conceptual emphasis, and will not consist of standard "end of chapter" problems.
Please see the exams page on the course website for more information about the exams in this course.
