The latter is Alice's section, but she was involved in a car accident (shaken but OK, she says), and I will cover for her today. So, both sessions are by me. I need help from one person with a good camera phone. Spread the word!

I need a student help to take pictures of the blackboard and make them available on line. This will ensure fairness to those students who cannot come to the review session.

Welcome to Phys 105, 2011!
I hope everyone did well in the midterm and feel good about it. If you did and do, congrats to you! My solutions are posted.
Positive acts will get noticed. Feel free to vote (positively) on the forum site -- every registered user can vote. Asking a question is one of the most positive acts (to yourself and others)!
What is this course about?
Classical mechanics is a beautifully ripe subject, albeit with hidden surprises. In this course, we will get a complete overview of classical mechanics. We will learn Newtonian and Lagrangian views of classical mechanics. We will cover some basic topics such as linear systems and the central force problem, and also not so basic topics such as non-linear dynamics (chaos), and many particle systems (field theory). If time allows (very unlikely), we may cover the special theory of relativity as well.
Checking out last year’s course web site might be of some use. Last but not the least, remember that you are the one!
