This course is the first of a two-semester sequence in calculus-based physics. Topics include an introduction to derivatives, integrals, and vectors, motion in one and two dimensions, rotational motion, energy, gravitation, sound, and thermal physics. This course is intended for physics, chemistry, engineering science, mathematics, and other science majors. Includes three class meetings and a three-hour laboratory per week.
Prerequisites: MATH 121. Enrollment in MATH 121 may be concurrent.
GE-J4.
Offered each Fall Term.
FYI, here's the General Physics II description (the second semester in the sequence):
This course is the second of a two-semester sequence in calculus-based physics. Topics include electrostatics, basic LCR circuits, magnetism, optics, electromagnetic waves, and modern physics. This course is intended for physics, chemistry, engineering science, mathematics, and other science majors. Includes three class meetings and a three-hour laboratory per week.
Prerequisites: PHYS 210 and MATH 122. Enrollment in MATH 122 may be concurrent.
GE-J4.
Offered each Spring Term.
