PHYSICS 316
Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering
This course is required for undergraduate physics majors and should be taken before 400-level core courses. The idea of teaching mathematical physics as a required subject separate from the physics core courses is both to help students appreciate the mathematical basis of physics theories and to acquire the expected level of competence in mathematical manipulations.
Prerequisites & course information
Students should have previous coursework focused on multivariable and vector calculus (i.e., MATH 215, 285, or equivalent). (3). (BS). May not be repeated for credit.
