Physics (PH)

The first course in an algebra-based two-semester sequence covering major areas of classical physics. Topics include kinematics, statics, dynamics, energy, and fluids, as time permits. Understanding of concepts is built through guided-discovery laboratory sessions integrated into lecture in a studio format. The course strongly emphasizes life science applications. Springs and Falls.

The second course in an algebra-based two-semester sequence covering major areas of classical physics. Topics include electricity, fluids, waves, and optics. Understanding of concepts is built through guided-discovery laboratory sessions integrated into lecture in a studio format. The course strongly emphasizes life science applications. A major component of the course may include a signature project. Springs.

Prerequisite(s): (PH 2110) or (PH 2210 and PH 2430)
