Credits: 4

Prerequisites/Corequisites
MATH 251. (It is recommended that MATH 251 be completed prior to this course, if possible.)

University Physics is a vector calculus-based introductory physics course for engineering and physical science majors. Topics covered in PHYS 201 include kinematics, Newton’s laws, energy and momentum conservation, and rotational motion. Topics covered in PHYS 202 include thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism. Special emphasis is placed on developing problem solving skills using multiple representations. Extensive use is made of microcomputer-based laboratories. Students taking PHYS 201-PHYS 202 cannot receive credit for PHYS 101-PHYS 102.

Notes
PHYS 201 must be completed prior to taking PHYS 202.
