Honors Physics I: Mechanics and Wave Motion

Catalog description

This course parallels and extends the content of PHYS 0150 , at a significantly higher mathematical level. Recommended for well-prepared students in engineering and the physical sciences, and particularly for those planning to major in physics. Classical laws of motion: interaction between particles; conservation laws and symmetry principles; rigid body motion; non-inertial reference frames; oscillations. Credit is awarded for only one of the following courses: PHYS 0008 , PHYS 0101 , PHYS 0150 , PHYS 0170 . Students with AP or Transfer Credit for PHYS 0101 or PHYS 0150 who complete PHYS 0170 will thereby surrender the AP or Transfer Credit.
