Description of Physics (PS) Courses

The following descriptions of courses in physics are from the Auburn University at Montgomery Undergraduate student catalog. At the time this link was established the catalog descriptions below were printed in the current student catalog. No representation is made that the material compiled below is the most current available.



207. Electricity and Magnetism (5). Lec. 4, Lab. 3, Pr., PS 210. A study of electricity and magnetism for students majoring in areas that do not require a year of calculus. Pre-engineering students should not enroll in this course without the permission of their advisor. Credit may not be obtained for both PS 207 and PS 212.

210. General Physics I (5). Lec. 4, Lab. 3, Pr., MH 161. A treatment of mechanics and statics intended for technical majors. Differential and integral calculus will be employed frequently during the quarter.

211. General Physics II (5). Lec. 4, Lab. 3, Pr., MH 161. A treatment of thermodynamics and wave phenomena intended for technical majors. May be taken before PS 210. Differential and integral calculus will be employed in this course.

212. General Physics III (5). Lec. 4, Lab. 3, Pr., PS 210 and MH 163. A study of electricity and magnetism intended for technical majors. Integral and differential calculus will be employed frequently during the quarter.

398. Experimental Physics (5). Pr., 15 hours of physics and junior standing. A physics project involving at least eight designated clock hours of laboratory work per week on the AUM campus would be required. A formal proposal must be approved by the project director and the department head prior to registration for the course. Formal written and oral presentations must be made during the last week of the quarter.
