Welcome to Dr. Yost's
section of Physics 222, Physics with
Calculus II!
This course is a second step in the study of the classical foundations 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, ideal gases, electric and magnetic fields, electric currents, resistance, capacitance, and inductance.
This course assumes more experience with calculus than 221. Integration will
be used more frequently this semester. We will also be solving some elementary
ordinary differential equations and using partial derivatives. 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
