PHYSICS

Physics B1: General Physics: A knowledge of the elements of plane trigonometry
through the right triangle is prerequisite.—(The course is open to first-year
students who have received this preparation in the high school.) The
classroom instruction is given by textbooks, recitations, problems, and experimental
demonstrations. In the laboratory each student performs experiments
upon which written reports are required. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6
session-hours.) One lecture section, three laboratory sections. Laboratory Fee
$15.

Professor Hoxton, Associate Professor Brown and Assistants.

Physics B2: Physics B1, or its equivalent, prerequisite. Calculus is not required.—This
course is designed to give the student a more thorough background
for advanced work in Physics and other sciences. Not more than 12 students
will be admitted. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Laboratory Fee $7.50.

Professor Beams.

Physics C1: Mechanics: A knowledge of the calculus is prerequisite.—
Lectures only.

Professor Sparrow.

Physics C2: Electricity and Magnetism: A knowledge of the calculus is
prerequisite.—Lecture and Laboratory. Laboratory Fee $7.50.

Professor Hoxton.

Physics C3: Optics: A knowledge of the calculus is prerequisite.—Lecture
and Laboratory. Laboratory Fee $7.50. (Given in 1931-32.)

Associate Professor Brown.

Physics C4: Heat and Related Topics: A knowledge of the calculus is
prerequisite.—Lecture and Laboratory. Laboratory Fee $7.50. (Given in 1931-32.)

Professor Hoxton.

Note: Not more than three of the above C courses will be given in one
year. Where laboratory work is given the time is divided between lecture and
laboratory in such a way that a total of not less than 3 session-hours for each
course is maintained. The student is expected to take every opportunity to
acquire laboratory technique as a preparation for experimental investigations.
