Due to the two math candidates this week, we have modifications to the week 14 schedule. I recognize the Thursday schedule in particular may prove problematic if you have already made out-of-class commitments after 3 – please let me know in advance if this is a problem for you.

• Mon. Jan. 30: 9 – 11 Quiz/Workshop in CAL West. 12:00 – 1:00 Math Candidate Public Presentation in Sem II E1107. 1:15 – 2:00 EM in CAL West. 2:00 – 2:45 LA/QM in CAL West. Special note: some repairs will occur in the Cave on Mon. afternoon. You will still be able to access 054B and the manuals if you were planning to do some P/S prep Monday after class.
• Tue. Jan. 31: 9 – Regular class meetings.
• Wed. Feb. 1: 9 – Regular class meetings.
• Thu. Feb. 2: 9 – 11 P/S. 12:00-1:00 Math Candidate Public Presentation in Sem 2 B1107. 1:30 – 3:00 LA/QM. 3:00 – 4:00 EM & LA/QM Workshop.

For Week 14, please read the following:

• EM: Griffiths 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 (we’ll cover 3.3 the following week).
  • Reminder: video lectures here.
• LA: Lay 5.1 – 5.2. Watch Essence of Linear Algebra Chapter 10, Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues and Chapter 4, The Determinant. 
• QM: Townsend Ch.1.
  • Briefly review Taylor Ch. 10 and Feynman Volume III Ch. 5 (you were asked to read them previously).
    
• Remember to use nb.mit.edu (info on how to access here) or check with faculty for alternatives. Complete first pass of reading and enter annotations (questions, responses, requests for class time) by Mon. 9am and update through week as need.

• PS#3 Solutions Assignments can be accessed here.
• Note that you will need to be logged in to our program web-site to access the page linked above. If not logged-in, you can do so via this link.
