CURRICULUM GUIDE 39 PHY 522 Advanced Placement Physics 2 One credit. Prerequisite: PHY 521, equivalent, or departmental approval. AP Physics 2 is an algebra-based continuation of AP Physics 1 and will prepare you for the AP Physics 2 examination. In order to study the course concepts, you will conduct labs with attention to careful technique and science practices, along with daily mathematical problem-solving to support your learning. The AP Physics 2 course gives you the opportunity to study fluid mechanics, thermal physics, a thorough treatment of electricity and magnetism, physical and geometric optics, and atomic and nuclear physics.
PHY 611 Advanced Placement Physics (C) One credit. Prerequisites: B+ or better in MAT 511 or equivalent and a previous physics course; or departmental approval. Open to juniors, seniors, and PGs. If you are planning to pursue engineering, this collegelevel course will provide you with opportunities to challenge yourself and learn a great deal! You will follow the AP Physics C syllabus, and focus on two major topics: mechanics and electricity/magnetism. You will work on your problem-solving skills every day, using calculus and other mathematical tools, as well as technology and laboratory investigations when appropriate. Get ready to dig in deep!
