PHY 105-106 University Physics I, II (8 credits)

This two-semester sequence is a calculus-based physics course intended primarily for students majoring in physics, chemistry, mathematics, or computer science. Emphasis is on developing both qualitative and quantitative understanding of fundamental physical principles, and the ability to apply those principles to analyze physical phenomena. Topics include classical kinematics and dynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves, and optics.

Corequisites: PHY 105L for PHY 105; PHY 106L for PHY 106. First-semester calculus is corequisite for PHY 105. PHY 105 is prerequisite to PHY 106.
