PHYS 1064
Physics for Engr & Science I

This course is the first of two calculus-based courses intended to cover elementary classical physics for those students who are planning to transfer into a four-year program in engineering, mathematics, or one of the natural sciences. The topics covered include: measurements, vectors, kinematics, dynamics, work and energy, impulse and momentum, rotational kinematics and dynamics, including energy and momentum principles, for single and multiple particle systems including rigid bodies. In addition the laboratory component of this course will be used to expose students to activities that will require them to apply the knowledge they have learned to design experiments, collect and analyze appropriate data and then interpret the results in such a way as to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts being covered.
