PHYS-110 General Physics I (calculus)
General Physics 110 is the first semester of a three-semester calculus-based physics course mainly for physics, physical science, engineering and related science majors. The course will enable the student to solve problems, using calculus methods when applicable, for the major concepts in physics to include: measurement; vector concepts; laws of motion, force, energy; principles of mechanics and statics; linear momentum; gravitation; oscillations; rotation; and vibrations. The student will develop the ability to interpret and apply the experimental laws and fundamental principles of physics to describe the behavior of the physical world. In the laboratory program, students will develop the ability to appraise, use, and interpret data collected (often by MBL) to express mathematically and/ or explain the physical phenomena observed.
