World Wide Web Information:

• This course uses the WWW for many aspects, including homework, gradebook, and storage of all lecture slides and most class handouts.
• You need to become familiar with the Web, and to have access to a fairly recent web browser. This is available on computers at CCSO and housing division computer sites.
• Many homework pages use symbol font for mathematical equations. Without symbol font equations will be difficult to read, e.g. you will see "p" instead of "pi". Symbol font is usually available on Macs and PCs without any special effort. Unix systems must be correctly configured. The Engineering College workstations were reconfigured in January, 1998. Contact your site administrator, if you are having difficulty.
• You can find the Physics 213 home page using the URL http://online.physics.uiuc.edu/courses/phys213. A detailed course description including policy on grading and absences may be found there.
