News: Several new undergraduate courses are now available.

Phys 1310, 1310L, 1320, 1320L, 2310, 2310L have replaced Phys 111, 112 and 221. The new courses are split into separate lecture and laboratory courses.
For example, Phys 1310 includes the lecture and recitation components of 111. Phys 1310L is the lab component. The content of the new courses are broadly similar to the old ones, but they offer greater flexibility and choice to students. The lab course can be taken concurrently with the lecture course, or after it.
Online options are available in some semesters.
