Solution Sheet 7 Posted

I have posted solution sheet 7.

Update (12/09/11): I have posted a revised solution sheet in which some minor typos have been corrected and some clarifications have been added. (The clarifications on the origami problem should be particularly helpful. We discussed these in the class.)

Part III of Lecture Notes Posted

I have now posted p. 40a-48a of the lecture notes. This takes us through the end of Chapter 12 of Sethna's book and should basically get us to the end of lecture 14.

The two lectures in week 8 will be on a 'special topic' to be determined. If there are any particular topics that interest you, please let me know. It is my intention for the last couple of lectures to vary from year to year depending on student interest.

Correction to Homework Sheet 5

I have corrected a typo on homework sheet 5. In problem 4, in the setup, one wants the limit as time goes to minus infinity (not positive infinity).

Solution Sheet 3 Posted

I just posted solution set 3. I meant to do this on Wednesday, but I forgot.
