We began with an introduction to PHY138Y, the structure of the lectures, tutorials and laboratories.
The field of Physics is divided into two distinct fields: Theoretical Physics and Experimental Physics. The structure of PHY138 reflects this bifurcation.
Theoretical Physics is the subject of the lectures and
tutorials. The coordinator, Dr. Pierre Savaria, introduced the structure of
this aspect of the course. The home page for this part of the course is:

Experimental Physics is the subject of the laboratory.
The coordinator, Dr. Ruxandra Serbanescu, introduced the laboratory. The home
page for this part of the course is:
http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/PHY110_138Lab.html
Then I began an introduction to Physics and we had some discussion of how to learn Physics.
