Science blends physical knowledge with knowledge of math. This blending changes the meaning attached to math and even the way mathematical equations are interpreted. Learning to think about physics with math involves a number of scientific thinking skills that are rarely taught in introductory classes. Students in this course explicitly learn and practice these skills through individual and group work in a small class setting. Corequisite: PHY 117 or PHY 118; students are recommended for this course on the basis of a short placement test. S/U only. Instructor permission required. (E)
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
