An introductory noncalculus course in some fundamental
principles of physics, with particular emphasis on
electromagnetism, optics and modern physics.
MAJOR READINGS
V.P. Coletta, COLLEGE PHYSICS or similar
text.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Three in-class exams
and a final exam. Weekly problem sets. Average grade on
problem sets may be substituted for one of the hour exams.
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.
Problem-solving help sessions, run by undergraduate TA's,
are provided two evenings each week; additional help
sessions may be organized for some afternoons if demand
warrants.
Students taking PHYS 112 are expected to enroll in a section
of the associated laboratory lab PHYS122. Those who feel
that they have cogent reasons for not taking the lab must
submit a written request to the lab instructor, listing
reasons for waiving the lab requirement, before they may
preregister or enroll in the course. 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 about similar
requirements in your field.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting
or communictate directly with the instructor prior to the
first class, they will be dropped from the class list.
NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form
to the Registrar's Office.
