This
optional 3-evening non-credit Extension course is intended for students
who
have registered in Physics 111.6, Physics 121.6, Astronomy 101.6, or
General
Engineering 124.3. The course will review the mathematical concepts and
techniques that are used in a first-year physics or astronomy course. Topics covered will include linear,
quadratic, and simultaneous equations, graphical representation,
exponents and
logarithms, trigonometric functions and identities, units, scientific
notation,
significant figures, and vectors (different material will be covered
each
evening).
Students registered in Physics 111.6 or Physics 121.6 are required to have a good working knowledge of the high school prerequisites: Mathematics B30 and Mathematics C30 (or Algebra 30 and Geometry-Trigonometry 30), and Physics 30. Students registered in Astronomy 101.6 need a good working knowledge of Mathematics A30 or Mathematics B30 (or Mathematics 30 or Algebra 30). If you feel you lack a good working knowledge of these high school math classes you will find this course useful.
