free to use and distribute these course materials (profit free) to
your students. Also, email
submissions of solutions, chapters, revisions will be gladly accepted
and posted on this site (especially those involving computer symbolic
manipulation, simulations, and visualization). Presently, the notes
and homework assignments are available for the first twelve chapters
of the course. Homework solutions will only be posted for two weeks
after their due dates; however, they are available by request to
Professors at other Universities (please send a regular-mail request
written on letterhead to Mark jarrell, Dept. of Physics, ML-0011,
University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati OH 45221-0011. Include your
email address, and I will send you what I have). A public ftp
subdirectory for each chapter can be accessed by clicking on the

The grade for this quarter will be determined by the homework
(50%) the project (20%) and the final (30%). The project is a
Materials Review in which you may describe the interesting properties
of a material or class of materials in six pages or less, including
figures and references but excluding the title page. A LaTeX template
for this project, as well as LaTeX guides are available on the main
directory for this course. Please take a look at the efforts of
your colleagues:
