College Physics A - Honors 4 Units (AA/AS; Citrus B2; Citrus B3; CSU; UC) 54 lecture hours, 54 lab hours Equivalent to: PHYS 111

Catalog description

A trigonometry-based physics course including mechanics, energy, matter, properties of materials, wave motion, and thermodynamics. This course is designed for architecture and liberal arts students who require or are interested in a physics course beyond algebra-based physics. This course is the first in a two-course sequence for students planning to enter medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry, forestry, and (4 year) nursing. (Life Science majors who need calculus-based physics must also take PHYS 111C.) Student must be eligible for the Citrus College Honors Program or obtain a recommendation from an Honors instructor. Students are expected to work and participate at an honors level, which includes designing experiments, and collaboration with and presentations to classmates on the connections between physics and Life Sciences.
