Description:

Staff This sequence of four 0.25-credit courses provides the mathematical foundation required for sophomore- through senior-level physics courses. PHYS 201 is an introduction to linear algebra and computational physics. PHYS 202 introduces complex numbers and complex exponentials as solutions to differential equations. PHYS 203 teaches Fourier sums and integrals. PHYS 204 teaches the gradient, divergence, and curl in several coordinate systems, and also introduces series solutions to differential equations. PHYS 201-204 are intended to be studied in sequential order. Prerequisites: PHYS 121 and completion of or co-registration in MATH 113, or permission of the instructor.
