Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
While a background in calculus is not required, each student who enrolls in the course is assumed to be familiar with exponents and powers-of-10 ("scientific") notation, geometry, simple trigonometry, logarithms and proportions. Problem-solving help sessions are run by TAs. The associated laboratory course PHYS121 is optional. Students planning to enter the health professions should be aware that a year of physics with laboratory is usually required for admission. Consult your major adviser if you are in doubt about similar requirements in your field. |
