If you can't get into a PHYS-2060 Lab section, go to the Physics Dept. Office in Everett Tower or call (269) 387-4940, and put your name on the Waiting List. It is still early and students' registrations often change, which can free up a lab spot. It is also possible that another lab section could be opened up.

You may use either Serway & Jewett 8th edition -- I will be working from the WMU Volume 1 version.
