Syllabus for Physics 212, Sections 01 and 70

The course breaks up naturally into discrete units, listed below. I've given estimates for the time we'll spend on each unit, but those may change as the course evolves. As you can see, we are skipping some chapters in the text. We may also skip sections within chapters.

  1. Elasticity and Simple Harmonic Motion: 1 week. Chapter 10
  2. Fluids: 1 week. Chapter 11
  3. Temperature and Heat: 1 week. Chapter 12

    Christmas Break

  4. Transfer of Heat: 1 week. Chapter 13
  5. Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory: 1 week. Chapter 14
  6. Thermodynamics: week 1 of 2. Chapter 15

    Midterm exam

  7. Thermodynamics: week 2 of 2. Chapter 15
  8. Waves and Sound: 1 week. Chapter 16
