The second semester of university physics stresses thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism. Light and optics will also be covered.
Problem solving skill development is emphasized.
A scientific or graphing calculator is also required. A good work ethic and a willingness to ask for help when needed are required for success in this course. It is therefore very important that you stay caught up on the material. Each student is expected to complete the assigned homework problems. For most students this means studying a minimum of 9 hours per week outside of class.
