Your cooperation needed. From today’s class, I will be collecting your homework. When you hand in your homework, please place it in the right bin on the front desk of the lecture hall. Your bin will be defined by your last initial—there will be seven such bins on the front desk, alphabetically grouped. Thanks!!—10:27AM, Jan 16, 2014
NO Mastering Physics and NO i-Clicker will be used in this course. Do NOT buy them. This is a big difference from the last year, since we used both then.
As for the textbook, it is Physics for Scientists And Engineers With Modern Physics, 4th ed., Giancoli. We will cover Chapters 12—16 and 32—35 in 5B. For more details, check the syllabus in this page.
Welcome students! This course will proceed somewhat like the last year's course, but with some important differences.—7:54AM, Dec 29, 2013
The syllabus for this site will be posted as the new quarter starts, but you can already learn about the textbook and the chapters to be covered from the last year’s syllabus, since they will remain the same. Similarly, it would be a great start if you browse through my lecture notes of the last year.

The number of midterm exams may not be the same as the last year’s, although I am not absolutely decided on this at the moment.
Check the last year’s syllabus for the textbook and the course topics.
