Reminder: Report on QED

Just a reminder that your report on QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter by R.P. Feynman is due one week from today ...

Your paper must adhere to the following basic requirements:

• Five double-spaced 8.5 x 11 inch pages, single sided

• Font size no larger than 12pt

• Margins no greater than 1.5 inches (3.8 cm)

The paper is due by the Thursday class following the spring holidays, viz., 22 March 2007. Submission may be either by hard copy, or electronically via email (PDF preferred, MS Word/other acceptable). The report is worth 6% of your total grade

You should read this book, and prepare a paper based on one of the four chapters of the book. The content of this paper is somewhat open, but you must touch on what you learned from the chapter you chose to write about, how it may or may not be relevant to your major field of study, and how it explains aspects of phenomena around you.

UPDATE:

You can use diagrams, so long as they are essential to your arguments and do not take up excessive space. If you use more than two figures, you should another half page of text.
