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.
