This course covers the same topics as Physics 131, but with a higher level of mathematical sophistication and more emphasis on waves. It is intended for students with solid backgrounds in the sciences, either from high school or college, who feel comfortable solving "word problems" that require calculus. Physics 141 can lead to either Physics 132 (for students wanting a one-year survey of physics) or Physics 142 (for students considering a physics major). Lectures three hours a week; laboratory three hours every other week. Evaluation will be based on problem sets, hour tests, labs, and a final exam. Prerequisites: high school physics and Mathematics 103 (or equivalent placement).
