 Physics 099: introduction to the mathematical methods of physical science and engineering
University of Rochester, Fall semester 2017

PHY 099 -- formerly called PHY 101 -- is a zero-credit-hour Fall course, graded Credit/No Credit. It is a prerequisite for PHY 121/121P and PHY 122/122P, two of the gateway courses for physical science and engineering majors; one must take either PHY 099, or equivalently EAS 101-105, to take these introductory physics classes.
