Description

This course is intended for students who have completed high school physics or AP Physics 1 and have a strong foundation in mechanics. Additionally, it requires a basic understanding of derivatives and integrals. The concepts taught are frequently tested in AP Physics 2 and USAPhO, giving adequate preparation for the thermodynamics sections of these tests.
