PHYS 201 S - College Physics I

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course is the first of the two-semester calculus-based introductory physics sequence designed for physics, mathematics, and other science majors. It includes principles of mechanics and their applications and is taught in an integrated lecture-lab format that meets in three two-hour sessions per week. The core of the curriculum is the study of motion with various levels of complexity. Some specific topics include: kinematics in one and two dimensions, dynamics, and Newton’s laws of motion, work, energy, and conservation of energy, linear momentum and collisions, and rotational kinematics and dynamics.

Offered Fall

Prerequisite(s): Prior completion of or concurrent enrollment in MATH 231.
