Welcome to Dr. Yost's
sections of Physics 222, Physics with
Calculus II!
This course is a second step in the study of the classical foundation of physics, covering thermodynamics and electricity and magnetism. More generally, the course is designed to give practice in elementary mathematical modeling of natural phenomena and problem solving in the physical sciences. Developing these skills is an essential prerequisite for further study in engineering and science. Topics covered include the laws of thermodynamics, temperature and entropy, ideal gases, electric and magnetic fields, electric currents, resistance, capacitance, inductance, DC and AC circuits, and electromagnetic waves.
This course assumes more experience with calculus than 221. Integration will be used more frequently this semester. We will also be solving some simple ordinary differential equations, and introducing partial differential equations as needed. If you have not seen these yet in a calculus course, it should not be a problem, since our discussion of them will be self-contained.
The following topics
