I had to create a new course number in order to sync with Professor Geller's site.  The new
course ID you should use to register is: <B>MPFOLSOM6CS09</B>.  If you already registered under the
old Course ID, you will have to re-register.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

It's probably cheapest to purchase the text in the UCEN Bookstore because it comes 
packaged with another item you must purchase called Mastering Phyiscs (MP). An MP 
subscription lasts a year, so you don't need to buy it if you had one recently. MP 
is the online homework system you'll be using and the text at bookstore has been 
specially packaged to include the access code for this system. <BR>

<U>NOTE</U>: If you don't have a Mastering Physics account or you don't have a perm number, see
the detailed instructions on Professor Geller's course web page:<BR>

<U>For everyone else (most of you)</U>:<BR>
<BR>
You will need to “enroll” in your MasteringPhysics course. Even though you're registered with Mastering Physics, you'll need to enroll in each course 6A, 6B, and 6C - separately, as we begin each course.
• Go to www.masteringphysics.com and select the textbook for your course - the dolphins again.<BR>
• Under "Established User," enter the login name and password you created and click Log In.<BR>
• When prompted, enter your Course ID: <B>MPFOLSOM6CS09</B>, and for Student ID, use your Perm Number.<BR>
<BR>
 To access your course from now on, simply go to www.masteringphysics.com, click on your textbook, and enter the login name and password you just created.<BR>
 

<BR>
*NOTE: In general, we can't answer questions in email about homework. It's just too complicated and inefficient. You can print out your work, and bring it to myself or the TAs in office hours.<BR>

<BR>
*If you're pretty sure there's an error you've found in MP, email the lead TA. He will check it out and if there's an error we'll make some fix or remove the problem.<BR>

*If you have MasteringPhysics questions: contact support@masteringphysics.com <BR>

<B>Course Outline:</B><BR>
</P>
<P class="indent">
	Physics 6C is a continuation of Physics 6A-B.  This quarter we will cover AC circuits, 
electromagnetic waves, and optics.  The lectures will supplement the textbook; we will cover 
some sections in a different order and introduce extra examples, and we will try to emphasize 
topics that many of you will see on the MCAT.
