| Course Description: | |
This course is the equivalent of a college-level physics course that provides a foundation for college students who will major in the physical sciences or engineering. Methods of calculus are used wherever appropriate in formulating physical principles and in applying them to physical problems. The course is more intensive and analytic than AP Physics I. The subject matter of the Physics C course is mechanics and electricity and magnetism, with approximately equal emphasis in the two areas. | |
