Three lectures and one quiz section per week. It is intended for science and engineering majors and premedical students. Particle kinematics, Newtonian dynamics, work and energy, collisions and momentum, torque and angular momentum, rigid-body statics and dynamics, harmonic oscillations, gravitation. Electrostatics, magnetostatics, DC and AC circuits, time-varying fields, Maxwell's equations. A35-1,2,3 are sequential prerequisites.
Laboratory meets every week.
The final examination counts one-third of the course grade. Halliday, Resnick, and Walker, Fundamentals of Physics, Extended 4th Edition. The course concentrates on the two major theories of twentieth century physics, relativity and quantum physics, and on their application to nuclear, atomic, and molecular structure, and to problems in electrical conductivity. The syllabus may be adjusted to accommodate the interests of those students who enroll in the class. Physics A35-1,2,3 or equivalent.
