Physics at Austin Community College

You should take this class if you:

had no physics in high school, and want to take Engineering Physics (PHYS 2425/2426) eventually
are pursuing a technical career that is not physics or engineering
are comfortable with algebra but have not yet taken a trigonometry or calculus class

PHYS 1401/1402 is the standard algebra-based physics sequence and may, in addition, serve as a prerequisite for the calculus-based PHYS 2425/2426 sequence for students who have not taken high school physics.
