Subject:

Description:

An entry level, calculus-based general introduction to the basic theories, concepts, and techniques of mechanics (kinematics, dynamics, rotation, gravitation, and waves) and the application of mechanics to heat flow, called thermodynamics. While facility with the mathematics of algebraic functions and trigonometry is assumed, these subjects will be extensively reviewed. The student will also learn to represent physical quantities as vector functions, and to extract information from these functions by the processes of differentiation and integration. Four hours lecture, two hours laboratory. Satisfies laboratory sciences exploratory requirement. Pre- or corequisite: MAT 135. Fall.
