    Description
    The Physics 006, 007, 008 sequence is a three-semester offering in introductory physics requiring math through calculus. This sequence satisfies the lower division physics requirement for majors in physics, chemistry, geology or other physical sciences, and engineering. This course is a continuation of PHYS 006 and PHYS 007, covering heat, optics, relativity, and modern physics. Students will learn to analyze and solve problems appropriate for this level in these topics. Experiments relating to the topics covered will be performed and students will analyze the experiments.
