| PHYS 109 General Physics I | |
| This
course and its continuation PHYS 110 serve as a two-semester
introduction to classical and modern physics. Applications are
chosen that focus on the life-sciences. Topics include principles
of classical mechanics: description of motion, force, torque and
rotational motion, energy, momentum and their conservation, fluid mechanics;
thermodynamics. The course meets three times a week for two
consecutive periods consisting of integrated lecture, discussion and
laboratory. This course fulfills the core-area in natural science
in the Natural Science and Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning
requirement in the core curriculum. NOTE: Students who receive credit for PHYS 109 may not receive credit for PHYS 111 |
