PH 212 General Physics With Calculus

The second of a three-term calculus-based sequence for students in science, engineering and other curricula who are planning to transfer credit to a four-year college or university, or for anyone desiring an understanding of physics principles. Topics include universal gravitation; rotational mechanics and dynamics; static equilibrium; fluid mechanics; simple harmonic motion; waves; superposition of waves; sound; and geometric and physical optics; matter waves. Lab exercises help elucidate physical principles and teach measurement and analysis skills. This is a laboratory class. Recommended: MTH 254 Calculus (taken concurrently) for those students who will take PH 213.
