Catalog Description: Spring, summer. Prerequisite: Physics 141 or 151. Introduction to electricity, magnetism, optics, and the essentials of quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics, and special relativity.

Semester Details:

Introduction to classical mechanics and thermodynamics. Physics 142 is the second course of a two-semester non-calculus introductory physics sequence.

The student is expected to be competent in algebra, trigonometry, and plane geometry. Physics 141 and 142 are appropriate courses to satisfy a one-year physics requirement of various professional schools. Students who expect to pursue a BS degree in mathematics or one of the sciences should seriously consider Physics 151.
