4 Credits

Spring 2207; Fall 2208. 4 credits each term. Prerequisites: high school physics plus substantial previous contact with introductory calculus such as MATH 1106.

This two-semester sequence includes laboratory exercises and is oriented towards the application of physical principles to the function of biological systems and deals with such topics as flow in tubes, heat transfer, optics and acoustics.

Physics 2207 covers mechanics, conservation laws, waves and topics from the thermal physics, fluids, acoustics, and properties of matter. Physics 2208 covers electricity and magnetism and topics from physical and geometrical optics, quantum and nuclear physics.
