Summer Session

PHY 131: Classical Physics I

Undergraduate 3 credits

Prerequisite: MAT 123 or level 5 on the mathematics placement examination Pre- or Corequisite: MAT 125 or MAT 131 or MAT 141 or AMS 151

DEC: E SBC: SNW

First part of a two-semester physics sequence for physical-sciences or engineering majors who have a strong mathematics background and are ready for a fast learning pace. It covers mechanics, wave motion, kinetic theory, and thermodynamics. Calculus is used concurrently with its development in MAT 131. Three lecture hours and one recitation hour per week. The Laboratory component, PHY 133 (Lab 1), could be taken concurrently. Not for credit in addition to PHY 121, PHY 125, or PHY 141. Advanced Placement Physics or a very strong course in high school Physics is recommended. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so.

PHY 132: Classical Physics II

Undergraduate 3 credits

Prerequisite: C or higher in PHY 131 or PHY 141 Pre- or Corequisite: MAT 132 or MAT 142 or MAT 126 or MAT 171 or AMS 161

DEC: E SBC: SNW

Second part of a two-semester physics sequence for physical-sciences or engineering majors who have a strong mathematics background and are ready for a fast learning pace. It covers electromagnetism, electric circuit theory, and optics. Calculus is used concurrently with its development in MAT 132. Three lecture hours and one recitation hour per week. The Laboratory component, PHY 134, may be taken concurrently. Not for credit in addition to PHY 122, PHY 127, or PHY 142. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so.

PHY 133: Classical Physics Laboratory I

Undergraduate 1 credit

Pre- or corequisite: PHY 125 and PHY 126; or PHY 131 or PHY 141

Two and one half hours of laboratory per week that corresponds to the content of PHY 131 or PHY 125+PHY 126. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so. This course has an associated fee. Please see www.stonybrook.edu/coursefees for more information.

PHY 134: Classical Physics Lab II

Undergraduate 1 credit

Prerequisite: C or higher in PHY 133 Pre- or Corequisite: PHY 126 and PHY 127; or PHY 132; or corequisite PHY 142

Two and one half hours of laboratory per week that corresponds to the content of PHY 132 or PHY 126+127. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so. This course has an associated fee. Please see www.stonybrook.edu/coursefees for more information.
