Dear Physics 609 Students,
Welcome to Galileo and Einstein.
The lectures are on CD Roms and will be sent to you by UPS .The
lectures are not rehearsed, but are edited versions of live lectures
given in Phys 109 at UVa. Assignments and administrative information
related to the course have been edited from the CDs. Most of the
students in the class take it as an elective to fullfill a science
requirement. Although the class that is taped is an undergraduate
class, you will still find the lectures interesting and stimulating.
After I get confirmation from the School of Continuing and Professional
Studies that you have registered, I will set up a user name and
password on WebAssign for you. I will notify you by email and you will
be able to log
on to WebAssign. You then should learn how to submit homework and take
exams
on WebAssign. The CD's will be sent by UPS to the address on your
registration form. Please RSVP via email when you have received
the CD's.

the internet for free. The website is
