Calculus-Based General Physics

Catalog description

This is the second course in the calculus-based physics sequence for students majoring in mathematics, physical sciences, engineering, and computer science. It emphasizes conceptual aspects of electricity, magnetism, circuits, and Maxwell's Laws. Practical applications of these subjects are discussed in class and incorporated into group projects developed along the term. A problem solving approach, using mathematical expressions and symbols, is routinely employed in lectures and homework to illustrate the laws of physics governing real world situations.
