PHYS 182 - General Physics II with Laboratory Description: An integrated experimental and analytical investigation of topics in rotational dynamics, wave mechanics, and conservation principles. This integrated lecture/laboratory course includes the analysis of physical systems using algebra, trigonometry, and calculus along with inquiry-based activities and experimental investigation. Formerly PHYS 212, students may not receive credit for both.
Prerequisites: Prerequisite: PHYS 181 and MATH 173. Corequisite: MATH 173.
Credits: (5)
