"Technical Physics 2 - Calculus Based" Class Notes
Fundamentals of Physics, Halliday & Resnick Eleventh Edition
by Jearl Walker
John Wiley & Sons (2018)
Halliday and Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics book, 11th edition

Copies of the classnotes are on the internet in PDF format as given below. The "Proofs of Theorems" files were prepared in Beamer. The "Printout of Proofs" are printable PDF files of the Beamer slides without the pauses. These notes and supplements have not been classroom tested (and so may have some typographical errors).

"Presents a survey of physics for students majoring in technical fields, such as physics, chemistry, engineering, etc. Students in pre-professional studies (pre-med, pre-dentistry, etc.) who desire a stronger preparation for professional school also can take this course. Topics include classical electromagnetism and optics. One semester of calculus is required before taking this course. Heavy emphasis is made for the solutions to numerical problems. PHYS 2120 is the second semester of a two-semester sequence in calculus-based classical physics."
