This is the first of a two-se­mes­ter se­quence of al­ge­bra-based physics course that is the foun­da­tion to fur­ther stud­ies in en­gi­neer­ing and tech­nol­ogy. The first se­mes­ter in­tro­duces stu­dents to con­cepts and prin­ci­ples of clas­si­cal me­chan­ics and ther­mo­dy­nam­ics. Top­ics in­clude kine­mat­ics, New­ton’s laws of mo­tion and uni­ver­sal grav­i­ta­tion, work and en­ergy, ro­ta­tional mo­tion, vi­bra­tions, flu­ids, heat and laws of ther­mo­dy­nam­ics. Com­puter-based lab­o­ra­tory com­po­nent of the course il­lus­trates and sup­ple­ments the lec­ture ma­te­r­ial.

This is the first of a two-semester sequence of algebra-based physics course that is the foundation to further studies in engineering and technology. The first semester introduces students to concepts and principles of classical mechanics and thermodynamics. Topics include kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion and universal gravitation, work and energy, rotational motion, vibrations, fluids, heat and laws of thermodynamics. Computer-based laboratory component of the course illustrates and supplements the lecture material.

A con­tin­u­a­tion of Cal­cu­lus I (MAT1475). Top­ics in­clude in­te­gra­tion (i.e. find­ing anti-de­riv­a­tives and eval­u­at­ing def­i­nite in­te­grals) using in­te­gra­tion by parts, trigono­met­ric sub­sti­tu­tion, and the tech­nique of par­tial frac­tions; and using in­te­gra­tion to cal­cu­late vol­umes of solids of rev­o­lu­tion, areas, and arc lengths.

A continuation of Calculus I (MAT1475). Topics include integration (i.e. finding anti-derivatives and evaluating definite integrals) using integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, and the technique of partial fractions; and using integration to calculate volumes of solids of revolution, areas, and arc lengths.
