Phys 101 PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS I
This course is aimed at the general student population as well as students majoring in sports medicine, education, environmental studies, etc. The goal is to introduce the main methods and concepts in physics. Whenever possible, the relationships between physics and other fields will be emphasized. Strong algebra and trigonometry skills are essential. The main thrusts of this course are mechanics and thermodynamics. Topics include using the kinematic equations to predict and understand motion, understanding torque, the relationships between heat and energy, rotational and linear motion, and using the laws of motion and laws of thermodynamics.
