Meets MnTC Goal Area 3. This is a demonstration-based course that provides an introduction to selected topics in classical and modern physics. Topics will include measurement and significant digits, graphing, dimensional analysis, mechanics of motion, vibrations, waves, sound, electricity and magnetism, light and optics, atomic physics and atomic spectra, lasers and optical fibers, nuclear physics and radiation. The course uses active learning techniques with lab-like experiences. It uses many demonstrations and instructor-guided small group problem-solving activities. Simple algebra is used to ensure that students grasp the course concepts. This course is intended for all students but is especially designed for non-science majors who want an appreciation of and a limited working knowledge in some major areas of physics.

Meets MnTC Goal Area 3. This course is an introduction to selected topics in classical physics. The topics covered include measurement and significant digits, dimensional analysis, vectors, motion, force, work and energy, momentum and rotational dynamics. An introductory-level college algebra is used frequently to ensure that students grasp the principles and retain a working knowledge of them. This course may be taken separately from PHYS 1105 and is intended for all students but especially designed for non-science majors or those who need an introductory-level working knowledge of physics.

Meets MnTC Goal Area 3. Prerequisite: MATH1115, MATH1116 or MATH1118This course gives a theoretical and practical introduction to physics, including kinetics in one and two dimensions, force and dynamics, bodies in equilibrium, work and energy, linear momentum, rotational motion, fluids, waves and sound. Lab equipment is used to illustrate these concepts. A mastery of college algebra and some trigonometry is essential for success in this course. The ability to use computers for creating reports and spreadsheets is needed for lab work. Physics 1401 is intended for all students but is especially designed for students majoring in forestry, biological sciences, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, physical therapy and other fields related to medicine. Lab is required.
