| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2009 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 4 |
| Administered by: | Discipline of Physics (pre 2009) |
This subject covers mechanics, fluids and optics and forms the basis for further studies in physics and related disciplines and allows access to the more challenging and interesting jobs that are based on the discipline. The subject is taught with a high degree of rigour and contains a high level of mathematical analysis. It is designed for students with an OP10 or better. Students who do not have this level of preparation will be encouraged to consider enrolling in PH1001 to build their foundation in physics. Student showing a high degree of success and commitment in PH1001 after the first 4 weeks of semester may be invited to change enrollment to PH1005. Teaching is focused on small groups, particularly during tutorials and a high level of assistance and encouragement is available.
