Credit: 1.0 | Prerequisite: Physics I or Calculus

The objective of this course is manifold. It is primarily meant for the budding scientist or engineer to become comfortable and fluent with the mathematical nature of advanced technical science. The mathematics involved is rigorous and often requires calculus. As such, an early unit introduces the basics of calculus so that further physics that relies on it can be undertaken (this is a boon to anyone concurrently enrolled in calculus). Another objective of the course is to show the student the wonder of our Universe, the equations and concepts that have been discovered to describe it, and the power they can wield as experts in those concepts. Students have the opportunity to participate in an off-campus Physics-related experience to enhance the class curriculum.
