PHYS 201—General Physics: Mechanics, Sound, Heat (4 credits)

An introduction to the classical laws of motion, including kinematics, forces in nature, Newton's laws of motion, conservation of energy and momentum, fluid statics and dynamics, oscillations, and waves. This course is the first half of the two semester general physics sequence. It is recommended for students specializing in science. The course emphasizes quantitative and conceptual understanding of the topics in introductory physics with the use of algebra.

Corequisite(s): PHYS 201L


PHYS 211—General Physics with Calculus: Mechanics (4 credits)

A calculus-based introduction to classical physics and the fundamental concepts of forces, Newton's laws of motion, conservation of energy and momentum, fluid dynamics, oscillations, and waves. This course is the first half of the two semester general physics sequence. It is recommended for students specializing in science with a background in Calculus.

Corequisite: PHYS 211L.
