| Exam and midterm topics may be discussed in lectures, assigned for homework, or for reading. An equation sheet, agreed upon by the class, will be provided. {{mt1_s11_eqnsheet.pdf|Here}} is the most current version. | Exam and midterm topics may be discussed in lectures, assigned for homework, or for reading.

| There will be about 6 homework sets, due roughly every 1-2 weeks. Problems will include text-book type problems, and also reading assignments from the current literature. Check the web page for assignments and due dates. Assignments turned in after solutions are posted will earn less than full credit. Turn in partially completed assignments by the due date and the rest later for partial credit. Pay attention to your presentation - physical insight and clear explanations are as important than the mathematical manipulation. Clarity, logical structure, spelling, grammar, and neatness contribute to the overall assessment. Make your solutions a model that a student entering PH575 could work from. | There will be about 6 homework sets, due roughly every 1-2 weeks.
