The Chem 108 and 112 series labs are each 2.0 course credit units. Options to Improve Weak Mathematical Backgrounds. Each sequence requires students to enroll in a secondary lab section that meets twice a week. Students will cover the same material in the calculus with applications and the traditional calculus although different texts are used. Calculus with applications focuses on problems drawn from the social and natural sciences and students work individually and in groups.
Traditional calculus places greater emphasis on theory and concepts.
Once a student begins a sequence, it is possible to move between them, however, we recommend staying with one sequence. Physics 5 and Physics 6. Physics 5, Introduction to Physics is designed for students who are considering a major in physics. Students are welcome in the 5 series whether or not they are considering the physics major, but should understand the differences between the two series. While Physics 5 covers much the same material as Physics 6, Introductory Physics, the lectures assume a strong interest in physics, and the homework and exams include somewhat more advanced problems.
