Institution:

Concordia University-Saint Paul

Subject:

Description:

This calculus-based course deals with the areas of mechanics and mechanical waves. Physics concepts related to mechanics and mechanical waves are developed mathematically, applied to practical situations, and measured and analyzed in the laboratory setting. Students make use of the computer as a tutorial aid, use a great variety of laboratory equipment (including sensors along with the computer) to procure and analyze data, and use selected software to demonstrate physics concepts and model practical situations. The Internet and literature are used to obtain current information on mechanics and mechanical waves. (Prerequisites: High school physics and Calculus I or approval of the instructor)
