PHY 132 ​- E: Classical Physics II

Second part of a two-semester physics sequence for physical-sciences or engineering majors who have a strong mathematics background and are ready for a fast learning pace. It covers electromagnetism, electric circuit theory, and optics. Calculus is used concurrently with its development in MAT 132. Three lecture hours and one recitation hour per week. The Laboratory component, PHY 134, may be taken concurrently. Not for credit in addition to PHY 122/124, PHY 126, PHY 127, or PHY 142. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so.

Prerequisite: C or higher in PHY 131 or PHY 141

Corequisite: MAT 132 or MAT 142 or MAT 127 or MAT 171 or AMS 161

3 credits

Serving as the second half to the 131 course, 132 largely encompases magnetism and electricity, two subjects I am not particularly strong on. With the comming semester, I hope to further develop my weak understanding of these topics, and greatly boost my knowledge of them to further help in my quest of becoming a biomedical engineer.
