Things to keep in mind

You will be expected to use calculus as a tool for solving problems. In the course of this class you will develop general problem solving skills. Techniques involving differential equations and vector calculus will be reviewed as necessary.
I expect that you know the material of the prerequisite courses, Physics 211 , Physics 212 and Physics 325, and of your prior math courses (calculus and differential equations). Review your notes from those courses as necessary.
You should read the appropiate sections in the textbook and lecture notes throroughly. You'll find it useful to go over the reading again for your homework assignments.
It is very important that you stay on top of the homework problems and that you leave enough time to solve them. The problem session is a place were you can practice problem solving skills, while having an instructor nearby to help you. You'll find that the best way to learn physics is through solving problems.
