PHYSCS 12, INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS NON-LAB    3 UNITS

Transfer: UC, CSU • IGETC AREA 5 (Physical Sciences, non-lab) • Prerequisite: None.

Physics 12 is a non-laboratory course for the student whose interest or major calls for a course with a more conceptual and less mathematical approach to physics. It is a survey course introducing mechanics, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, light and modern physics. The emphasis is on understanding of concepts and applying physics to life around us. No credit for Physics 12 if taken after Physics 1 or 6. *See counselor regarding transfer credit limitations. High School Math recommended.
