Foundations of Physics II Lecture (PHY 274E) is an online, self-paced introductory calculus-based physics course. Students make an in-depth study of concepts, principles, and applications of physics drawn from electricity and magnetism (including electric circuits), and areas of classical mechanics more advanced than those covered in Foundations of Physics I (PHY 270E).
Foundations of Physics II Lab (PHY 274LE) is an online, self-paced introductory calculus-based physics course. Students study concepts, principles and applications drawn from mechanics, electricity and magnetism, DC circuits, and ray and wave optics. Emphasis is placed on interpreting and solving problems, and on translating between verbal, pictorial, diagrammatic, symbolic mathematical, and graphical representations. Students develop the solid foundation required for a working knowledge of physics.
After completing the course above, you'll be well-prepared to pursue a degree in fields such as physical therapy.
Prerequisites: Foundations of Physics I (PHY 270/PHY 272L) or equivalent
MCPHS also offers Foundations of Physics I. Please visit our Foundations of Physics I prerequisite course page for more information.
