Prerequisite: Prerequisites: PHYS 004A and MATH 003B. This is the third course in a three-semester, calculus-based physics sequence designed for physical science and engineering majors. This course covers key topics in fluids, thermodynamics, mechanical waves, optics, and modern physics, including wave-particle duality, matter waves, and special relativity. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding, mathematical modeling, and the application of calculus to solve real-world physics problems. Together with the previous two courses in the sequence, this course completes the core physics curriculum required for most STEM transfer pathways.(PHYS 004A, MATH 003B)
