Note(s)

  • Students with credit for PHYS 112, PHYS 120, or PHYS 122 may not take PHYS 110 for credit.
  • A basic course in physics for students planning a program of study in fields such as Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Earth and Ocean Sciences and Engineering.
  • Students with a strong interest in Physics or Astronomy are encouraged to consider registering in PHYS 120.

Pre- or corequisites

  • Completed or concurrently enrolled in 1 of:
    • MATH100 - Calculus I (1.5)
    • MATH102 - Calculus for Students in the Social and Biological Sciences (1.5)
