General Physics I

Catalog description

Prior or concurrent study in calculus is required. A calculus-based course in classical physics designed primarily for physical science and engineering majors. Newtonian mechanics, oscillations, and classical wave motion are studied. Emphasis is on understanding basic principles and solving problems. A weekly laboratory is included. The laboratory includes a review of techniques for problem solving, as well as experiments in classical physics. PHYS 1310 is mutually exclusive with PHYS 1050 and PHYS 1210 . Students may receive credit for only one of PHYS 1050 , PHYS 1210 or PHYS 1310 in the undergraduate degree.
