Students should take the laboratory component PHYS 012B  concurrently, unless credit has already been received for the equivalent.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Prerequisites: PHYS 011A  and MATH 071 , both with a grade of C- or better. Pre- or corequisites: MATH 072  with a grade of C- or better. Students with AP Physics Exam transfer credits should seek advice from the Department of Physics and Astronomy  before registering. PHYS 012A applies toward the natural science (NS) distribution requirement only upon successful completion of the corresponding laboratory course PHYS 012B . This course may be taken for full credit by students who already have credit for PHYS 002A ; see the Department of Physics and Astronomy  for advisement.
