PH 211 General Physics With Calculus

The first of a three-term calculus-based sequence of introductory college physics for students in science, engineering and other curricula who are planning to transfer credit to a four-year college or university, or for anyone desiring an understanding of physics principles. Topics include measurement; scientific models; motion in a straight line; motion in two dimensions; vectors; force and motion; Newton's laws of motion; energy; momentum; conservation laws; center of mass; linear and angular momentum; universal gravitation. Lab exercises help elucidate physical principles and teach measurement and analysis skills. This is a laboratory class. Recommended: MTH 254 Multivariable Calculus (taken concurrently) for students who will take PH212 & PH213.
