Course Structure Daily Schedule Grade Scores 3
Morning Lectures 9am to noon Lunch noon to 2pm Afternoon Lectures 2pm to 4pm Homework Sessions ~7pm to ~11pm Lectures sections will be punctuated by short breaks Grade Scores Homework 70% – assigned daily. Midterm Exam 10% – 2 questions over 2 hours. Final Exam 20% – 4 questions over 3 hours. Letter grades will be based on a curve. Ideally you should decide credit/audit by Tuesday afternoon. 3 Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism | June 2018 USPAS at MSU 12/1/2018 3 3 3

Purpose Mission: Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism
5 Purpose Mission: Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism A core part of the USPAS program. We have the equivalent of one semester to cover a topic that could easily be three or four semesters. Strategy: Focus on the subset of Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism most relevant to Accelerators. This course can serve as general preparation for more advanced USPAS courses that are offered regularly. Cost: Constant tension between breadth and depth. 5 Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism | June 2018 USPAS at MSU 12/1/2018 5 5 5
