This is a link to a pdf version of the course equation sheet.  This sheet (or its updates) will be attached to each midterm and final.  You may also bring it to quizzes (I would suggest you do), but it will not be handed out each time.  There are several purposes for this sheet:
  1.  To show how few fundamental equations there really are in Physics.  It's not knowing the equations that counts, but learning to see the world around you in the context of a few basic principles.  The former is easy, the latter takes practice (i. e. do your homework and go to recitation!)
  2.  It is intended that you should be able to work all problems from these equations (plus the very simple ideas that you presumably know; e. g. the area of a circle, the volume of a cube, etc).  It is true that in some cases more complex "plug and chug" equations will give a quicker answer, even without much understanding.  I work hard to avoid these problems when making out tests.  My rule in selecting problems is that they must be workable in a few steps from these basic equations, with the least possible arithmetic.  I have no interest in encouraging you to learn a lot of complex equations that few physicists know and which there is little chance you'll remember 1 week after the final.  I have some modest hope that you'll remember what these few basic laws of physics mean forever.
  3.  To help you to see the relations between these few basic laws and how all physics fits together into a logical and coherent whole.
