Courses Summary
|
Physics I (Calculus Treatment)
In this course we explore the foundations underlying our knowledge of
the physical world, with the goal of gaining an understanding of the
physical laws governing matter, energy, and physical (as well as
chemical and biological) phenomena. The course formally covers linear
kinematics and dynamics; rotational kinematics and dynamics;
conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum; gravitation; fluids;
oscillatory and wave motion; thermal physics.

 | Physics II (Calculus
Treatment)
This course is the electricity and
magnetism component to the introductory calculus-based physics
sequence. Topics include: electric force, electric field, electric
flux and Gauss law, electric potential, capacitance and DC
circuits, magnetic force and magnetic field, magnetic properties
of materials, Faraday's law of induction, Inductance, AC
circuits, displacement current, Maxwell's equations,
electromagnetic waves, geometric optics.

Mathematical Physics
This course covers: complex analysis; ordinary differential equations;
initial value problem; boundary value problem; Fourier series and
Fourier transform; hyperbolic, parabolic, and elliptic partial
differential equations.
