PHYSICS

The Astronomy courses have new numbers. PHYS 1311 is now ASTR 1303, PHYS 1312 is now ASTR 1304 and PHYS 1411 is now ASTR 1403. The prerequisites for all physics courses are mandatory and will be verified by instructors. Students without the prerequisites are subject to withdrawal.

Course Descriptions All Courses 
PHYS 1401 General College Physics I
Study of principles and applications of concepts in mechanics, energy, heat, wave motion, and sound. PHYS 1401/1402 is the standard algebra-based physics sequence and may, in addition, serve as a prerequisite for the calculus-based PHYS 2425/2426 sequence for students who have not taken high school physics. General College Physics I: Honors - Please contact the Honors Department at 223-3255 or honors@austincc.edu for additional information. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MATH 1314 or equivalent.

PHYS 1402 General College Physics II
Study of principles and applications of concepts in electricity and magnetism, geometric and physical optics, and modern physics. This is the second half of the algebra-based PHYS 1401/1402 sequence. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in PHYS 1401.

PHYS 1405 Conceptual Physics I
Conceptual survey of topics in physics, including the fundamentals of motion, forces, energy and momentum. Intended for liberal arts and other non-science majors, but science majors with weak physics background may wish to use this as an introduction to physics principles.

PHYS 1407 Conceptual Physics II
Conceptual survey of topics in physics, including the fundamentals of optics, electricity, magnetism and modern physics. Intended for liberal arts and other non-science majors, but science majors with weak physics background may wish to use this as an introduction to physics principles.

PHYS 2425 Engineering Physics I
Calculus-based study of motion, forces, work, energy, momentum and angular momentum, vibrations and waves, and heat. Intended for majors in engineering, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Prerequisite: 1) Grade of "C" or better in MATH 2413 or equivalent, 2) concurrent enrollment or credit in MATH 2414 or its equivalent, 3) one year of high school physics or grade of "C" or better in PHY 1653 or grade of "C" or better in both PHYS 1401 and 1402.

PHYS 2426 Engineering Physics II
Calculus-based study of electricity and magnetism, and geometric and physical optics, and modern physics. This is the second half of the calculus-based PHYS 2425/2426 sequence. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in 1) PHYS 2425 or equivalent AND 2) credit in MATH 2414 or equivalent.
