Evaluate how calculus is applied in physical sciences
Evaluate how calculus is applied in physical sciences
Assess the applications of physics in various biological and biochemical systems
About this course:
Statics and dynamics of forces; motion; and energy, including thermal energy, with applications to biological and biochemical systems. Transferable for UC credit.
Prerequisites
Calculus series, such as LIFESCI 30A, 30B or MATH 3A, 3B, 3C (3C may be taken concurrently); or MATH XL 31A, 31B; or equivalent. PHYSICS 5A, 5B, and 5C form a one-year sequence in basic physics for students in the biological and health sciences. Calculus is used throughout. Successful completion of basic calculus courses is a prerequisite for admission to this sequence.
Enrollment/class participation contingent on signing a liability waiver form.
This hybrid section is made up of In-Person and Live Online instruction.
This hybrid section is considered In Person for immigration purposes.
Physics XL 5B and XL 5C will be offered in Winter Quarter and Spring Quarter. Nonscience majors interested in a general physics course should take XL 10 Physics when next offered. Internet access required to retrieve course materials.
Fulfills in part the UCLA General Education requirement for Physical Sciences.
Enrollment limited to 26 students. Visitors not permitted. Enrollment deadline: January 8, 2025 11:59:59 PM PST.
