iPython:
Here is an iPython overview (information about the purpose of the material, and how to get started).
Here is the link to the iPython web site.

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 HW due date.
  

• Discussion solutions will be posted after the last discussion session (maybe the next day).

• Previous exams and solutions can be found here (pw protected).

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