HW2 / today

This afternoon, from 2pm onward, I'll be in or around my Bevill office (room 2050) if you have homework questions. You can also email/text me if you like.

Some of the problems on HW2 are well known (i.e., you could potentially google solutions or hints), some I have asked before in either PH106 or PH126. Just throwing that out there.

Lastly, in general if a HW problem suggests a particular method of solution, but you think you have a better way to get the same result, you can use your own method if you like. For instance, on #2 of HW2, you might decide it is just easier to superimpose the fields of two lines an a semicircle, since the field from those objects are well-known results, rather than setting up the problem as suggested. In general, any consistent method is fine, solutions by any means necessary. This means writing code or numerical solutions are fair game in general [but you should turn in the code with the rest of your HW].
