PHY 132 - Classical Physics II


Second part of a two-semester physics sequence for physical-sciences or engineering majors who have a strong mathematics background and are ready for a fast learning pace. It covers electromagnetism, electric circuit theory, and optics. Calculus is used concurrently with its development in MAT 132 . Three lecture hours and one recitation hour per week. The Laboratory component, PHY 134 , may be taken concurrently. Not for credit in addition to PHY 122 , PHY 127 , or PHY 142 .
