Homework Assignments:
- We will use the OWL (On-line Web-based Learning) to complete the required homework
assignments for Physics 261. Here is the OWL log-in link. Information for new OWL users can be found here. Note that you might need your 8-digit Spire # rather than your 9-digit SSN.
- After each assignment is due, the answers are given. No credit
will be given after this date passes.
- The OWL problems are adapted from Serway and Beichner (the 5th edition of
our text, which is the 6th edition).

3/8/06.
This assignment is worth two OWL assignments.
Here are the solutions (pdf, 512 kB).
- Written HW#2: 5 problems in quantum mechanics (1 page, pdf, 35 kB). This is due FRIDAY, 4/21, IN CLASS.
Here are the solutions (pdf, 419 kB).
- Written HW#3: 4 problems in quantum mechanics (2 pages, pdf, 49 kB). This is due WEDNESDAY, 5/17, IN CLASS. Here are the solutions (pdf, 85 kB).
