Those of you majoring in physics will study the same subjects again at a deeper level in upper division physics courses and yet a third time, in graduate school, if you go on in physics. Most of you will settle for the first go-around and use your knowledge of physics in engineering, geology, chemistry, biology, computer science, mathematics, or some other field. In any case I hope you find it satisfying to learn to understand and apply the laws that govern nature at the deepest level. We will use derivatives and integrals throughout the course, as that is the way that physics is most effectively expressed. I encourage you to take the accompanying laboratory course, Physics 116, whether or not your major requires it.
