Supplemental Websites

Instructor: Dr. Andy Piacsek

Class meets Monday and Wednesday from 2:00-2:50 and Friday from 2:00 to 3:50. All classes meet in Lind 113.

The text is "Computational Physics (2nd ed.)" by Nicholas Giordano and Hisao Nakanishi.

Homework information

The current assignment is due by 1:00 pm on Monday, January 12. Email your notebook file to me at piacsek@cwu.edu. You may work together to figure things out and share ideas, but each student must prepare their own notebook. Since you must provide your own commentary for each solution, I will know if you simply "borrowed" someone else's notebook.
