PHY 211: Analytical Physics I

This is the first of a two-course sequence in calculus-based Newtonian physics for students intending to major in science or engineering. Physics 211 develops the concepts of mechanics (kinematics, forces, work-energy, impulse, translational and angular momentum, fluids), vibration (and waves) and fundamental thermodynamics. Laboratory exercises are included to assist students in understanding the above topics and to develop skills in data analysis methods.

Level I Prereq: Academic Reading and Writing Levels of 6; high school physics or PHY 111; MTH 191, minimum grade "C" all MTH, PHY and high school requirements
