Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Physics

Description:

A one-year calculus-based introductory physics course using the workshop method. This method combines inquiry-based cooperative learning with the comprehensive use of computer tools for data acquisition, data analysis and mathematical modeling. Kinematics, Newtons Laws of motion, conservation laws (energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum), rotational motion, and oscillations are studied during the first semester In the second semester topics in electricity, magnetism, dc circuits, thermodynamics, and chaos dynamics are covered. Recommended for physical science, mathematics, computer science, and 3-2 engineering students and for biology majors preparing for graduate study. Three two-hour sessions per week. Prerequisite: MATH 141-142. Co-requisites: MATH 201-202. A passing grade of a C- or better in PHYS 211 is a prerequisite for PHYS 212.
