The AP50A/B sequence is a team- and project-based introduction to physics designed for engineering and physics concentrators focusing on the application of physics to real-world problems. It is equivalent in content and rigor to a standard calculus-based introductory physics course sequence (A: mechanics and waves; B: electromagnetism and optics). Through, hands-on and collaborative learning activities you will hone your scientific reasoning, estimation, and open-ended problem-solving skills. In addition, the activities in the course are designed to help you grow your capacity for self-directed learning and develop your collaborative skills. The course requires a solid background in calculus (A: single-variable; B: multivariable).
