3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): None We live in a world governed by physical laws. As a result we have become accustomed to objects' motions being in accordance with these laws. This course examines the basic physics and mathematics governing natural phenomena such as light, weight, inertia, friction, momentum, and thrust as a practical introduction to applied math and physics. Students will explore geometry, trigonometry for cyclical motions, and physical equations of motion for bodies moving under the influence of forces. With these tools, students will develop a broader understanding of the impact of mathematics and physics on their daily lives.
