ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS

This course is a continuation of PHYS 111, and will follow a similar format. While a background in calculus is not assumed, each student who enrolls in the course is assumed to be familiar with exponents and powers-of-10 ("scientific") notation, geometry, simple trigonometry, logarithms and proportions. Evening problem-solving help sessions, run by undergraduate TA's, are provided each week; additional help sessions may be organized for some afternoons if demand warrants. Students taking PHYS11 2 may enroll in a section of the associated laboratory PHYS122. Students planning to enter the health professions should be aware that a year of physics WITH LABORATORY is usually required for admission. Consult your major advisor if you are in doubt abo ut similar requirements in your field.
