This calculus-based, core physics course consists of a detailed study of rotating rigid bodies, fluid mechanics, electrostatics and magnetism, direct and alternating current circuits, electromagnetic waves, the wave and particle natures of light. The course is designed to promote scientific literacy and to develop the use of the scientific method to solve problems. An integrated laboratory program illustrates more advanced scientific techniques and serves to stimulate intellectual curiosity through discovery laboratories. This course features an introduction of new material and "depth" reinforcement of select PH205 concepts relevant to continued engineering education through a rigorous theoretical and mathematical curriculum.
