1.00 Credits
Credits: 1 Prerequisites: PHY 107, PHY 108, PHY 07, PHY 08, and junior standing Corequisites: None Type: LAB Introduces basic syntax and capabilities of the computer calculus/algebra system as applied to obtain analytical solutions to problems in physics. Students taking PHY 386 learn the same syntax as PHY 86 students, but are required to do more advanced problems such as occur in junior-senior physics courses. A student may receive academic credit for only one of the two courses.
