PHYC 130
Fundamentals of Physics
Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District · Fall 2026
Catalog description
This calculus-level course is the first of a sequence of two physics courses for life science majors. It provides a thorough basis in mechanics, kinematics, work, energy, properties of matter, heat, and vibrations. The course assumes no previous physics study, but makes extensive use of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and calculus, as appropriate. The laboratory provides applications of physics principles to measurements of translational motion, forces, torques, rotational systems, and heat. Physics 130 is not open to students with credit in Physics 140. (C-ID PHYS 105) (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-5, CSU-B1,B3, IGETC-5A,5C, Cal-GETC-5A,5C)
