Here are the weekly topics, reading, and homework assignments.

• Please read the book before class.
  I have broken the reading into bite sized pieces (for each lecture), so you can easily keep up.
  Readings in black are from Griffiths; in red are from Feynman.

• Homework solutions (password protected) will be posted after the late HW due date.
  Discussion solutions will be posted after the last class.

• Click on the date (in the week column) to see lecture slides (pdf).
