F Physics for the Life Sciences II

Catalog description

54 hours lecture and 54 hours lab per term. This course covers electricity and magnetism, optics, special relativity, and quantum physics. The laboratory portion of the course investigates these topics both qualitatively and quantitatively, and includes the use of graphing and statistics, and propagation of errors. This is the second half of an algebra-based two-semester sequence ( PHYS 205 F and 206 F ) for students majoring in the life sciences. This course satisfies a requirement for biology majors in the CSU system, but not the UC system. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC Credit Limitation) AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC (C-ID: PHYS 110)
