Subject:

PHYS - Physics

Description:

First of a two-semester algebra-based and problem-oriented introductory physics sequence. Topics normally covered are drawn from Newtonian mechanics in two dimensions and include velocity and acceleration, Newton’s laws and energy for linear and rotational motion, simple harmonic motion and fluids. Time permitting, heat and thermodynamics may be included. A good base of high-school algebra and trigonometry is assumed, and completion of homework and lab are requirements for a passing grade. Meets requirements of the Pre-Medical Professions program. Does not meet requirements of physics or engineering programs. Lecture (three hours) and recitation (one hour). Fall and Summer.
