The course uses geometry, algebra, graphs, and vectors to describe physical phenomena. Laboratory experiments are used to illustrate physical laws and develop measurement and data analysis skills.
Emphasis is placed on conceptual understanding rather than numerical computation.
Addison Wesley, 1998. Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to solve elementary problems in Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, and will have rudimentary ability to set up, conduct, and interpret simple experimental analyses of physical phenomena.
