Note: Session 2 (Tue 4:30 to 7:30) is closed. If you are enrolled in that session you need to move to another session.
Two laboratory sessions are offered for this course. You must complete every experiment. If you cannot attend the session you are enrolled in you need to inform your TA and attend another lab session that same week. The TA may not excuse any student from a laboratory session. Each laboratory session which is not completed will result in a deduction of 6% from the final grade.
Listed below are the list of experiments for Summer, 1999 semester. The lab manual is posted in html and PDF format. (The PDF format removes the problem with Greek symbols and other mathematical symbols on some computers. If you do not have a copy of the Acrobat Reader, you can download a copy free of charge from the Adobe web site.) To access the instructions for each experiment, click on either html or PDF. You may freely print the writeup for use in the laboratory. However, you may not make copies for the purpose of sale.
