Physics 183B is an on-line calculus-based physics course, for students
majoring in engineering or physical sciences. Topics include: kinematics,
Newtonian dynamics, momentum and energy conservation, rotational motion,
gravity, oscillatory motion, wave motion and sound.Prerequisites
MTH 132 or MTH 152H or LBS 118.Helproom Hours
Strosacker Learning Center, room 1248 BPS. (Due to the remodeling of the
Learning Center, room 1240 BPS will also be used as a helproom. The sign
on the door of the Learning Center will always clearly tell where the
helproom is.)
