Required Course Materials in Past Years

PHYS103 Laboratory Manual.  This is only available through the Campus Bookstore.

A lab notebook.  Must be 5×5 quad ruled, and bound but not wire bound.  (5×5 means 5 squares to the inch.)  Pages must be securely attached—you should be able to pick up the notebook by a page with no danger of it ripping out
A recommended option is Avery style 43-591;  the 8.5"×11" size makes it easier to use.
