Welcome to the webpage for Physics 161, the second semester of calculus-based physics.  This term we will be studying the triumphs of nineteenth century physics: electricity, magnetism, induction, and thermodynamics.  On this page you will find extra course materials that will aid you in this concentrated Summer semester.  Lecture notes, audio podcasts, homework, and mini-test solutions will be posted as they become available.  If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.
