A Resource for Students
of College Physics

Welcome to the College Physics website. This is a dynamic website so you will see the features grow as the semester progresses. Initially Planet Psi's College Physics web pages will provide you with a copy of the syllabus that was handed out on the first day of class. The homework assignments will be posted here along with due dates and the answers to the even problems.

How soon do you think it will arrive here on the Planet Earth?
