Phys 101 General Physics I Prerequisite, Math 105. Corequisite or prerequisite, Math 110. Students study mechanics, wave motion, and heat. Phys 102 General Physics II Prerequisite, Phys 101. Corequisite or prerequisite, Math 111.
Students study electricity, magnetism, light, introduction to atomic structure.
An introduction to physical sciences with emphasis on earth space science and an introduction to chemistry and physics. Designed to meet the general education requirements in the natural sciences, this course will use topics of current interest to introduce non-scientists to basic principles of physical science. Lecture, demonstration, discussion, laboratory. A two-semester sequence covering concepts of mechanics, wave motion and sound, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and atomic physics. This algebra-based treatment is not intended for students pursuing a B.S. degree in the natural sciences.
