PHY 1001 College Physics I
This course is the first half of the two-semester, non-calculus based general physics sequence, intended for students in life science, pre-health programs, and students interested in understanding the physical world and developing analytic reasoning and quantitative analysis skills. Topics include: kinematics, dynamics, Newton's Laws, circular motion, work and energy, linear momentum, rotational kinematics and dynamics, simple harmonic, fluids, temperature, heat and heat transfer, ideal gases, thermodynamics, waves and sound, interference. There is an accompanying laboratory, which allows us to relate the material to the (somewhat more complicated) real world.
