Honors/General Physics II

Catalog description

Introductory course emphasizing electricity and magnetism. Other topics may include fluids, waves, and thermodynamics. Recommended for students specializing in science and engineering. The honors version covers the same material as the traditional lecture course, but with three two-hour classes per week, most of which is spent working on activities in groups (rather than lecture). Students in the Honors section are encouraged to co-enrolled in MATH 426H so that strong connections can be made between math and physics. 408H students work in groups in every class meeting. This course has a lab component, but students in this version do not register for a recitation or lab, since these activities are integrated into the regular class meetings. Lab.
