	Physics 233: General Physics III

Physics 233 is the final course in a three-semester, calculus-based, introductory-physics sequence. This sequence explores the nature of matter and its interactions and lays the foundation for the advanced study of physics. The two previous courses focused on Mechanics and the Electromagnetic interaction. This course explores the laws that govern the very small - Quantum Mechanics and the very many - Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics as well as the applied branch of Electricity & Magnetism known as Optics. Along the way, we’ll take the opportunity to explicitly develop your experimental skills.
