Course Description
This course provides an introduction to fundamental concepts and laws of classical physics. This is the first part of a two-semester sequence with a focus on mechanics and thermodynamics.
Course Description:
This is the first of a two-semester sequence of calculus-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 me-
chanics and thermodynamics. Topics include kinematics, Newton’s laws of
motion and universal gravitation, work and energy, rotational motion, vibra-
tions, fluids, heat and laws of thermodynamics. Calculus and vector methods
are used throughout the course. Computer-based laboratory component of
the course illustrates and supplements the lecture material.
Pre- or corequisite: MAT 1475
