6 General Physics I (4) UC:CSU (CAN PHYS 2)
Prerequisite: Prior or concurrent enrollment in Mathematics 241 or equivalent trigonometry.
Physics 6 and 7 constitute a two-course sequence in general physics designed primarily for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry and geology majors. The areas of physics involved in this course are mechanics, energy, fluid mechanics, mechanical waves, thermal behavior, kinetic theory and the laws of thermodynamics.
NOTE: No UC credit will be given for Physics 11 or 12 if taken after the Physics 6-7, or 37-38-39 series.
7 General Physics II (4) UC:CSU
Prerequisites: Physics 6, Mathematics 241
Physics 6 and 7 constitute a two-course sequence in general physics designed primarily for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry and geology majors. This course is a continuation of Physics 6, covering electricity, magnetism, electromagnetism, alternating currents, electromagnetic waves, optics, the atom, quantum physics and relativity.
NOTE: No UC credit will be given for Physics 11 or 12 if taken after the Physics 6-7, or 37-38-39 series.
12 Physics Fundamentals (3) UC:CSU
Prerequisite: One year of high school algebra, or Mathematics 115.
This introductory course in physics, designed primarily for liberal arts students, provides qualitative knowledge of fundamental physical principles.
NOTE: No UC credit will be given for Physics 11 or 12 if taken after the Physics 6-7, or 37-38-39 series.
14 Physics Fundamentals Laboratory (1) UC:CSU
Prerequisite: Physics 12 or concurrent enrollment in Physics 12.
This course is designed for those liberal arts students who are taking or have taken Physics 12 and who wish or need to have a laboratory experience as part of their physical science education. The course consists of a large number of physical science experiments.
37 Physics for Engineers and Scientists I (5) UC:CSU
Prerequisite: Mathematics 261 with a grade of "C" or better.
Corequisite: Mathematics 262.
This course is the first semester of a three-semester calculus-level sequence in introductory physics. Topics studied include kinematics, particle dynamics, momentum and impulse, work-energy, rotational dynamics, statics, oscillations, gravitation, mechanics of solids and fluids, and special relativity.
NOTE: No UC credit will be given for Physics 11 or 12 if taken after the Physics 6-7, or 37-38-39 series.
38 Physics for Engineers and Scientists II (5) UC:CSU
Prerequisites: Physics 37, Mathematics 262.
Corequisite: Mathematics 263.
This is the second semester of a three-semester calculus-level sequence in introductory physics. Topics studied include electric fields, magnetism, electrical and magnetic properties of matter, direct and alternating current circuits, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves and wave theory.
NOTE: Subject to UC limitation if combined with other Physics courses. See NOTE in Physics 12.
