Brief Description. This course is the second of a two semester
introductory sequence in physics for science majors. Calculus is
not used in this course. If you need a calculus based course, you
should register for PHY 123. The topics covered are electricity
and magnetism,
light and optics, and several topics from contemporary physics.
Prerequisite: Physics 111 or equivalent.
Instructor: Robert Coakley, coakley@usm.maine.edu
Text: PHYSICS, 6th ed
by Douglas Giancoli. People just starting
with the second semester should get only volume 2.
An OPTIONAL study guide is available.
Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday and Friday from 8:45 - 10:00 in 303
Payson Smith.
The usual pattern will be about two classes devoted to new
material followed by a class devoted to review of assigned problems.
Lab is a separate course. If you need the lab, register for PHY
116.
Homework Assignments
Assignments should be completed before they are reviewed in class,
but may be handed in at any time.
