PHYS 1082 - Introductory Physics II

Credits: 5
Hours/Week: Lecture 5Lab 2
Course Description: This course is the second course in a comprehensive two-semester sequence in introductory physics. The topics of wave motion, geometric optics, and electricity and magnetism are introduced at the level of calculus. The course presents these topics as a foundation for further studies in science while at the same time developing problem-solving skills that will be useful for students in practically any endeavor they choose to undertake.
MnTC Goals
