APPLIED PHYSICS TRACK 

Typical Sequence of Classes for Students
Taking Physics 141 and MATH 130 Fall Term of their First Year

The sequence of classes listed below roughly outlines the physics and mathematics classes that an applied physics major can expect to take if he or she starts taking physics courses as a first year student and who does not have a solid enough foundation in mathematics to be taking the regular Calculus I course (MATH 141Q, Calculus I with Analytic Geometry) in the fall semester.  Students in this group will need to take MATH 130, Calculus I with Review Part 1, in the fall and MATH 131Q, Calculus I with Review Part 2, in the spring.  If the student wishes, MATH 142Q, Calculus II, could be taken in the summer after the first year* so that the student may take the standard sequence of courses in for the sophomore year and beyond (click here to see that sequence).

*Note: It is preferable to take Calculus II at Stetson, but it can also be taken at a state or community college.

The selection of courses offered each semester is determined both by student interest and the availability of faculty to teach them.  Physics and Mathematics courses that are in bold font are generally offered every year, and those shown in italics are generally offered in alternate years.
