PY1007  Physics for Engineers (2010/2011)

Here you'll find links to the lectures and problem sets for the "Physics for Engineers" course for the first couple of weeks of the semester.  These notes are to be used as a guide to the lecture material and are in no way to be considered sufficient.   If you have any problems downloading the files, you can obtain hardcopies from me.

The recommended text is "Physics" by Cutnell and Johnson.  It is available for purchase in the college book shop and is also in the library.   You are stronlgy advised to purchase the e-book for €20.  Details will be given during the second week of semester.
