- Course description
- Syllabus
- Assignments
- Link to publisher resources
- Prerequisites
|
|
| Be sure to note course prequisite math requirments. The primary reason most students have difficulty in their physics course is due to their math skills. For General Physics, students should already have taken college algebra with trigonometry, or the equivalent in high school. For University Physics, students should already have taken Calculus I and should be taking Calculus II concurrently. |
