All three courses satisfy the USM science requirement when taken with the lab. PHY 101K is a one semester course covering a full range of topics selected from classical and contemporary physics. It is the least mathematically demanding of the three courses using only basic algebra. Pre-Med PHY 111K is the first course of a two semester sequence intended for science majors. The course makes extensive use of algebra and trigonometry, but does not use calculus.
Lab is included as part of the course.
The second semester course is PHY 112. Probably the right course for Probably the wrong course for Biology, Pre-Med, Chemistry, Engineering, PT, other health care Computer Science, fields, Geology Physics PHY 121K is also the first course in a two semester sequence for science majors. The second semester courses are PHY 123 and 124. Non USM Students . If you are a student at another school and want to transfer credit for physics to your home school, you should check with that institution to see if our course will transfer.
