Introductory Physics Sequence
There are 4 lecture tracks available &ndash
All are Calculus-Based
All satisfy medical school requirements
All can be used as entrances to a Physics major
- Physics 170/171 (closest to AP Physics - with examples from the biological sciences)
- Physics 180/181 (closest to AP Physics - with examples from the physical sciences)
- Physics 200/201 (beyond AP Physics)
- Physics 260/261 (significantly beyond AP Physics)
There are 2 lab sequences:
Lab 1 - Ph 165La/166Lb (goes with lecture #1-2 above)
Lab 2 - Ph 205Lb/206La (goes with lecture #3-4 above).
