Game plan for tomorrow:

10-11ish: Start 112 exam. I hope I'm ready. I went over induction and conservation of momentum/angular momentum to death. I even spent too much time reviewing the Maxwell stress tensor, even though it's not on the exam. I hope I have a good handle on waves: E/M waves in vacuum, propagation in dielectrics and conductors, dispersion, and waveguides. It's weird how I find most interesting the stuff Carl dislikes (momentum, stress tensor stuff) and dislike what he likes and thus will probably emphasize on the exam (waves). I've reviewed retarded potentials and fields. Because the math is just that nasty, he can't put too much stuff on the time-dependent Coulomb and Biot-Savart laws or Lienard-Wiechert fields on the exam. Radiation I think I feel OK with.

Afternoon: work on theory for lab report

Evening: Christmas tree sales. Study for 111 - start doing those "teaser" problems.

Amusing physics book quotes )

I think that would be the least of one's worries if one was being charged by a bear running at the speed of sound...
