PHYS Physics( Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences) PHYS121 Fundamentals of Physics I; (4 credits) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD. CORE Physical Science Lab (PL) Course.Prerequisite: MATH112 or MATH115. The first part of a two-semester course in general physics treating the fields of mechanics, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. Together with PHYS122, this generally satisfies the minimum requirement of medical and dental schools. Students must pay a $50.00 Laboratory Materials fee. PHYS122 Fundamentals of Physics II; (4 credits) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD. CORE Physical Science Lab (PL) Course. Prerequisite: PHYS121 or equivalent. A continuation of PHYS121, which together with it, generally satisfies the minimum requirement of medical and dental schools. Students must pay a $50.00 Laboratory Materials fee.
