Fast-Paced High School Physics
Fast Paced High School Physics is a Science course in the CTY program. It requires previous enrollment in Algebra II. The course is intended primarily to take the place of regular high school physics because of its extensive coverate. Its course code is PHYW.
Course Description
CTY Physics is a course which covers roughly two years of high school level physics in three weeks. A typical honors-level high school class will cover about 16-17 chapters over a school year. CTY Physics covers 28-30 chapters, resulting in a pace of over 2 chapters per day; the class delves into topics specific to both AP Physics C: Mechanics and E/M. Students are strongly advised to have had trigonometry before taking this class. Basic knowledge of differential and integral calculus are also helpful for understanding certain concepts, though the course is not a calculus-driven physics course.
