(PHIL) Philosophy
PHYS 1401 College Physics I ................... 4:3:3
Fundamental principles of physics, using algebra
and trigonometry; the principles and applications of
classical mechanics and thermodynamics, including
harmonic motion, mechanical waves and sound,
physical systems, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and
gravitation and other fundamental forces; with
emphasis on problem solving. Laboratory activities
will reinforce fundamental principles of physics,
using algebra and trigonometry; the principles and
applications
of
classical
mechanics
and
thermodynamics, including harmonic motion,
mechanical waves and sound, physical systems,
Newton’s Laws of Motion, and gravitation and other
fundamental forces; emphasis will be on problem
solving.
Prerequisite(s): TSI complete in reading, MATH
1314 and MATH 1316 or MATH 2312 (See
Placement Guidelines, page 18).
PHYS 1402 College Physics II .................. 4:3:3
A continuation of PHYS 1401. Fundamental
principles of physics, using algebra and
trigonometry; the principles and applications of
