29::009 Directions in Modern Physics: Readings and Preparation of Midterm 2

Midterm 2: Friday April 30; 9:30 PM

Covers Part 2.

Format: 2 questions about the lectures, one question about the homeworks, one question about the readings. Open notes and open books. Remark: I said in class that I would leave a copy of last year second midterm. After looking at it, I realized that I had put more emphasis on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics last year and it would create confusion (and anxiety) to use it as a model.

Readings

Weinberg: Chapter 5; Guth: Chapters 8, 9 and 10.
