First of a two-semester calculus-based and problem-oriented introductory physics sequence. A good algebra and trigonometry background is presumed and methods of using calculus are presented. The approach is strongly quantitative and emphasizes the solving of problems. 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. Meets requirements of physics, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, forensic science and the Pre-Medical Professions Program. Lecture (three hours) and recitation (one hour). Co-requisites: MATH 115 and PHYS 211L. Fall and Summer.
-
1.00 Credits
Experiments demonstrating principles and applications of Newtonian mechanics, including kinematics, friction, force, energy, momentum, and torque. Students learn measurement practices, digital data analysis, and error analysis. Laboratory (two hours). Fall and Summer

Second of a two-semester calculus-based and problem-oriented introductory physics sequence. A good algebra and trigonometry background is presumed and methods of using calculus are presented. The approach is strongly quantitative and emphasizes the solving of problems. Topics normally covered are drawn from electromagnetism and include electrostatic field, potential and energy, electric circuits, magnetostatics, and electromatgnetic induction. Time permitting, wave motion, electromagnetic waves and optics may be included. Meets requirements of physics, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, forensic science and the Pre-Medical Professions Program. Lecture (three hours) and recitation (one hour). Prerequisite: PHYS 211. Co-requisites: MATH 116 and PHYS 212L. Spring and Summer
