Homework
Homework set 6, due Nov. 10. Correction: momentum → angular momentum in 2(c).
Homework set 5, due Nov. 1 (solutions). Due date changed. However, honing your skills on the Lagragian mechanics will prepare you well for the midterm. Very basic Lagrangian problems will feature in the midterm (see the practice exam). No Hamiltonian (or effective potential defined through Hamiltonian) will be in the midterm, though. Correction: L10 → LN 8, in problem 2.
Homework set 4, due Oct. 20 (solutions).
Grade stats: 37 ± 11 out of 60, max 60, min 13.
Problem 2: added the info that $a > 0$ is a constant too.
Homework set 3, due Oct. 13 (solutions).
Grade stats: 31 ± 11 out of 50, max 49, min 4.
Problem 6: n = integer → n = non-zero integer.
Problem 5(a): "stable" added. 5(b): "Show" → "Prove" and "indeed" added.
Homework set 2, due Oct. 6 (solutions).
Grade stats: 32 ± 14 out of 60, max 60, min 10.
Correction: sols, 1(a), line 3 of solution, at end: $\left(\begin{smallmatrix} 1\\ 0\\ 0 \end{smallmatrix}\right) \rightarrow \left(\begin{smallmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 1 \end{smallmatrix}\right)$. — Sam, 4:49PM, Oct 10, 2011
Due date corrected (Thursday). One clause added to 3(c) ("that does not involve t").
Quiz
Quiz 3, Potential and small oscillation (solutions).
Grade stats: 4.8 ± 2.7 out of 10, max 10, min 0.
Quiz 2, Perturbation, Oct 13 (solutions).
Grade stats: 6.9 ± 2.8 out of 10, max 10, min 0.
Quiz 1, Introduction, Oct 7 (solutions).
Grade stats: 7.2 ± 2.1 out of 10, max 10, min 1.
Quiz 0, Phys-Math Questionnaire (solutions). (Not a real quiz — not graded.)
Exam
Midterm (solutions). Correction: solutions, 4: powers of sin$\theta$ corrected. (Stats and rubrics)
Minor update -- some sentences added/tweaked. Nothing major. — Sam, 10:31AM, Oct 26, 2011
Practice exam for the midterm. The midterm will cover everything that we covered through Oct. 20's class. (solutions)
