PHY 251 General Physics I
This course uses calculus-based mathematical
models to introduce the fundamental concepts that
describe the physical world. Topics include units
and measurement, vector operations, linear
kinematics and dynamics, energy, power, momentum,
rotational mechanics, periodic motion, fluid
mechanics, and heat. Upon completion, students
should be able to demonstrate an understanding of
the principles involved and display analytical
problem-solving ability for the topics covered.
