Description:

Designed to show the science of physics as a broadly-based intellectual activity that has firm historical roots and profoundly influences our whole culture. Through lectures, demonstrations, problem-solving, and laboratory activities the students will learn the basic concepts of physics (using a historical, mathematical and scientific approach). First semester covers the kinematics and dynamics of motion, momentum, work, power and energy, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Second semester covers waves and sound, light and optics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics. (The topics are selected and arranged to progress from the simple to more sophisticated concepts and problem-solving skills.) Prerequisite: high school algebra.
