Homework
Homework set 5, due Nov. 1. 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.
Homework set 4, due Oct. 20. (solutions).
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").
Exam
Practice exam for the midterm. The midterm will cover everything that we covered through Oct. 20's class. (solutions)
