Physics for the Life Sciences I

Catalog description

First of a two-semester algebra-based and problem-oriented introductory physics sequence. Topics normally covered are drawn from Newtonian mechanics in two dimensions and include velocity and acceleration, Newton?s laws and energy for linear and rotational motion, simple harmonic motion and fluids. Time permitting, heat and thermodynamics may be included. A good base of high-school algebra and trigonometry is assumed. Meets requirements of the Pre-Medical and Health Professions Program. Does not meet requirements of physics or engineering programs. Credit is not allowed for both PHYS 200/201. Three hours.
