Homework Assignments for PHY-131 Spring 2005 About 90% of all Homework assignments are to be completed using Mastering Physics (MP). You may expect approximately 9 Mastering Physics HW problems per lecture. You can only find the Mastering Physics problems at masteringphysics.com. The due dates for all Mastering Physics assignments will be posted on your Mastering Physics assignment list. Approximately 10% of the HW problems will have to be written up and handed in at recitation. You will find those problems, along with due dates, on this web page. Each HW assignment should be worth a total of 75 points; so if the Mastering Physics part of an assignment is worth less than 75 points, check here to find the problem which must be written up and handed in.
