AP Physics B

AP Physics B was an Advanced Placement science course in which high school students studied Newtonian mechanics, electricity and magnetism, fluid mechanics, and thermal physics, waves and optics, and atomic and nuclear physics in preparation for a cumulative exam given each May. The course was non-calculus-based and involved algebra and trigonometry to solve various physics problems. It was supposed to be equivalent to a year-long introductory college course in physics. This course also helped prepare students for the SAT Subject Test in Physics, which is also administered by College Board.
