PHYS0170 - Honors Physics I: Mechanics and Wave Motion

This course parallels and extends the content of PHYS 0150, at a significantly higher mathematical level. Recommended for well-prepared students in engineering and the physical sciences, and particularly for those planning to major in physics. Classical laws of motion: interaction between particles; conservation laws and symmetry principles; rigid body motion; non-inertial reference frames; oscillations. Prerequisite: Benjamin Franklin Seminar. Credit is awarded for only one of the following courses: PHYS 0008, PHYS 0101, PHYS 0150, PHYS 0170. Students with AP or Transfer Credit for PHYS 0101 or PHYS 0150 who complete PHYS 0170 will thereby surrender the AP or Transfer Credit.
