Physics 214b-2008 Assignment 11

Due: Wed, 4-28-08, 4 pm, except problem 11A, which is due Friday 4-30-08 at 4 pm

Reading: Townsend 7.1-7.3

IMPORTANT: College policy does not allow me to accept any work after Friday 4-20-08, except for the final exam.  Therefore, there will be no rewrite on this assignment.

11A.  Finish your independent project.  This should be something that takes 6-8 hours of work.  It could be a 2-3 page paper on a scientific or historical topic relating to the course, a web page of useful links relating to one of the topics we’ve covered, a song, etc.  You should plan to complete this by the end of classes.  I have reduced the intensity of this assignment somewhat to give you time to get started, and will also reduce the intensity of next week’s assignment somewhat to give you time to finish.
