Elementary Physics
PHYS 1410
- A conceptual level survey of topics in physics intended for liberal arts and other non-science majors.
- This course offers the opportunities for the students to explore the basic principles in motion, matter, heat, sound, electricity, light, and modern physics.
- It includes an appropriate laboratory program.
College Physics 1
PHYS 1401
- The fundamental principles of physics, using algebra and trigonometry;
- The principles and applications of classical mechanics and thermodynamics, including: harmonic motion, mechanical waves and sound, physical systems, Newton's laws of motion, and gravitation and other fundamental forces; with emphasis on problem solving.
- Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental principles of physics.
- This course can serve as the physics requirement for the pre-professional medical programs but does not satisfy the physics requirements for physical science and engineering majors.
College Physics 2
PHYS 1402
- The fundamental principles of physics, using algebra and trigonometry;
- The principles and applications of electricity and magnetism, including circuits, electrostatics, electromagnetism, waves, sound, light, optics, and modern physics topics; with emphasis on problem solving.
- Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental principles of physics.
- This course can serve as the physics requirement for the pre-professional medical programs but does not satisfy the physics requirements for physical science and engineering majors.
