Today's slides

Here [pdf] is what I presented in lecture today. These are all the slides I used (course overview + relativity figures) as well as some example questions.

Homework 1 is due Thursday, we will go over some of the questions tomorrow during the lecture and lab sessions to get you started. You might have had trouble accessing this link earlier today (before about 12:30) ... that problem should be fixed now. Let me know if problems persist.

Also, tomorrow's quiz will be about 3-4 questions long, and cover length contraction and time dilation. You might find the notes useful [15Mb PDF]; there are problems & solutions at the end of the chapter. Note that the colored links are clickable in the PDF.
