UC DAVIS HONORS PHYSICS
Do you like
physics? Do you enjoy math and its application in physics and other classes? Can you see
yourself making an important
contribution someday in physics, engineering, computer science, chemistry, biology or just about
any other natural science? Do
you like a challenge?
Then Physics 9 Honors is
for you. 
The Physics 9 Honors
series is our introductory physics series for the
most enthusiastic
students.
It starts right away, in the Fall quarter, so
you can get going quickly
while your High School physics is still fresh in
mind. Exciting topics in
modern physics are discussed earlier and in greater depth, and computers are used much more
extensively in laboratories and discussions. Due to the small class size
and shared interests, students quickly form bonds with each other and
with their teachers that are invaluable
in their academic careers. Our Physics 9 Honors students are often active in the Physics Club and
Astronomy Club, and a great many become involved in research by their
second year.
If you’re ready to learn
as much physics as you can, as one of an elite group of science students, check out
Physics 9 Honors. High
school physics and advanced
placement in math 21B or higher are desirable, but if you have a strong interest in physics
and some background in
calculus, those requirements
can be waived. Note that advanced
placement
in physics is not a
requirement to enroll in the physics honors series.
