PHY 251General Physics I

Catalog

This course uses calculus-based mathematical models to introduce the fundamental concepts that describe the physical world. Topics include units and measurement, vector operations, linear kinematics and dynamics, energy, power, momentum, rotational mechanics, periodic motion, fluid mechanics, and heat. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the principles involved and display analytical problem-solving ability for the topics covered. Scientific calculator (TI-36X Pro ) and computer with audio/video capability required for proctored exams. Computer with audio/video capability required for online proctored exams.
