AP Physics 2 (original) (raw)

Advanced Placement (AP) Physics 2, along with AP Physics 1, is a year-long AP course mainly taught in the United States and Canada and designed by the College Board to replace AP Physics B in the 2014–2015 school year. The courses were formed through collaboration between current Advanced Placement teachers and The College Board, with the guidance from the National Research Council and the National Science Foundation. Similar to AP Physics C, the material covered emulates that of a second semester university undergraduate physics course offered at a typical American university, but with an algebra-based curriculum, as AP Physics C is calculus-based.
