Physics 1 (PHYS 1100)
This course is the first half of a standard 1st year calculus-based physics course (PHYS 1200 is the second half). The course covers mechanics, including vectors, kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotational motion, oscillations, waves, and sound. In the laboratory, students will develop measurement, analysis and lab report writing skills.
