122 Syllabus
First Summer Session 2000
PHY-122 is the 1-credit laboratory course accompanying PHY-121, University
Physics I, which covers the subject of Introductory Mechanics. PHY-121 must be
taken at the same time as (or either before) PHY-122.
For logistical and economical reasons the material covered in the two courses
is not coordinated in time. The expectation is that, over the course of the
term, material learned in one course will enhance the understanding of the
material received in the other.

LAB MANUAL
We are in the process of moving the manual for this laboratory to an
online format. Those parts of the online manual which are complete
will appear on this page. You are responsible for downloading these
pages, reading them beforehand, and bringing them with you to the
appropriate lab. These files are in pdf format. The free Adobe Acrobat

not yet available online (SUMMER LABS 3, 4, and 5) will be provided free
of charge in the 122 lab rooms a minimum of one week in advance.
