PY 111 General Physics I

Non-calculus-based course covering the basic principles of mechanics (units, vectors, 1D and 2D motion, concepts of force, torque, static equilibrium, energy, work, momentum, rotational motion, and gravitation), fluid mechanics, temperature, and thermal expansion. Students who do not have a strong background in problem-solving and math skills have an option to take the two-semester sequence (PY 105 and PY 106) instead of PY 111. 

A prerequisite to PY 113
