6.730  Physics for Solid State Applications

Bill's Office Hours today (Sat 5/17) will be at normal class time 1-2:30, and if possible will be in the normal Friday classroom 26-322 (else the normal Mon/Wed classroom 26-168, else the Bldg 13 Conference Room 13-3038).

My last announcement gave the mistaken impression that I'm giving formal review sessions.  I'm not intending to prepare a review lecture.  By "review sessions," I meant "office hours for the final."  While I might have a few points to convey, I'm intending mostly just to answer your questions.

For those who want it, Problem Set 8 without solutions is now posted online.  (The version with solutions is still there too.)

Also, when do people want review sessions?  I'm planning on doing two, but when?  Wednesday and Thursday office hours like usual?  Do you need a day to digest the review lecture on Wednesday and thus want Thursday and Friday (perhaps during normal lecture hours) or Saturday?  On that note, would anyone even come to a Saturday afternoon session?   Opinions may be emailed to wmk@mit.edu. 

Every year, the MIT chapter of Eta Kappa Nu (HKN), which is the National Honor Society of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, compiles "The Underground Guide to Course VI."

They want your input on 6.730.

You can give your input confidentially at their website https://sixweb.mit.edu/student/evaluate/6.730-s2008 until 11:59 PM on Friday, May 16.

I just noticed Solution Set 5 had never been posted online. 

This oversight has now been corrected.  The online version is slightly corrected compared to the previous hardcopy in solutions 5.2b (a clearer reason for why the two band structures are identical) and 5.4 (the final table for energies at the Y point suffered from some careless cut-and-paste-without-revising errors).
