Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
It should be clear from the course description given above how students need to prepare for the lessons every week. Before each lesson, study the corresponding chapter(s) of any standard text book you have; that will help you to understand these lessons deeply. 
Requirements All students are supposed to take “Mechanics A & B”, "Analytical Mechanics", and "Electromagnetism I & II", prior to this class. 
Grading Method Short tests (100 %)
