Pre-requisite: PHYS 223 or equivalent

PHYS 343-345 is a 3-term sequence in instrumentation, largely (but not entirely) dealing with electronics. It is a required part of the physics program, but is also taken by Chemistry majors who naturally find it invaluable. It is also taken by pre-engineering students, both those in the 3/2 Physics/Engineering program and by those who will simply transfer later on.

This term, PHYS 344, will focus largely on digital techniques.
