This is the second course of a two-course, algebra-based conceptual general physics sequence for students in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences. This course covers the basic principles and applications of oscillations and waves in mechanics, acoustics, electricity and magnetism, and optics and provides an introduction to modern physics. The course consists of three lectures per week, with certain lectures designated as recitations and/or demonstrations at the discretion of the instructor.

Spring course.

Typical text: Cutnell and Johnson or any other algebra-based general physics text complemented by supplemental handouts as needed.
