PHYS 1232 — Principles of Physics II
An algebra-based course for students needing a fuller introduction to physics than would be found in a general education/survey course. Topics include wave motion, sound, optics, electricity, DC circuits, magnetism. Optional topics are interactions between radiation & matter and AC circuits. Applications will be drawn from several areas, including (but not limited to) those appropriate to the biological/medical/health career fields. This course may be taken before or after PHYS 1231. Concepts of motion, energy, and right-triangle trigonometry will be introduced as needed. (3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab).
