This calculus-based AP physics course ordinarily forms the first part of the college foundation courses for students majoring in the physical sciences, mathematics, or engineering. Outlined by The College Board, this course will provide instruction in each of the following six content areas: kinematics; Newton’s laws of motion; work, energy, and power; systems of particles and linear momentum; circular motion and rotation; and oscillations and gravitation. Students are encouraged to take the Advanced Placement test at the completion of the course.
