Principles Of Physics I W/Calculus

Catalog description

This is the first of a two-semester, Calculus-based sequence in general physics especially for students who plan on careers in engineering or science. The principles of Newtonian physics are presented using methods of Calculus as appropriate. Topics include kinematics in one, two, and three dimensions, Newton’s Laws, energy and momentum, rotational motion, gravitation, statics, heat, and thermodynamics. The course will emphasize problem-solving techniques as well as theory. Laboratory experiments will be performed by the students to reinforce the principles taught.
