PHY 2054C - Welcome

We are happy to have you with us this semester. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to understand the basic concepts of physics relating to electricity and magnetism, optics and modern physics. We promise to explain physics in an interesting and stimulating way; physics can actually be fun!

The lectures will concentrate on the critical issues and you are expected to study the text to obtain a better understanding of the underlying physics concepts. The subject matter discussed in class will generally follow the text, with additional material presented from information not yet in the textbooks. We (your instructors) are hoping to share some of our enthusiasm with you this semester!
