3.00 Credits
Introductory course in classical mechanics. Some of the topics introduced are the description of motion, Newtons laws of motion, equilibrium conditions, concepts of work and energy, momentum, periodic phenomena, and rotational motion. Additional topics may include the concepts of heat and temperature, kinetic theory of gases and the behavior of real and ideal gases. Origin, characteristics, transmission, and detection of sound may also be studied. Recommend that students take concurrently PHY123.
Prerequisite:
MAT 117 FOR LEVEL U WITH MIN. GRADE OF D (MAY BE TAKEN CONCURRENTLY) OR MAT 117B FOR LEVEL U WITH MIN. GRADE OF D (MAY BE TAKEN CONCURRENTLY) OR PLML FOR MIN. SCORE OF 3

Opportunity to offer courses in areas of departmental general education interest not covered by the regular general education courses.
-
3.00 Credits
Introductory study of the laws of mechanics governing motion of objects acted upon by forces. Beginning spent on kinematics (the study of motion in terms of position, velocity, and acceleration). Newton's laws, which determine how forces generate motion, studied next. Remainder spent on direct applications of Newton's laws. These include the description of motion in terms of energy, the description of collisions and a brief study of rotational dynamics. Also presents a brief introduction to some of the elementary concepts involved in theories of special and general relativity. Vectors and differential calculus used.
Prerequisite:
