PHYSI 010 - General Physics I

Lower Division

Prerequisites
MATH 027.

This course is the first in a two-part sequence. The sequence introduces the student to the conceptual framework of physics, and the phenomenology of mechanics, fluids, waves, thermal physics, electricity, magnetism, optics and modern physics. In comparison with the Introduction to Physics sequence this course chooses breadth over depth, and is expected to be more suited to the needs of life science students.

Lecture and/or Lab Hours
Three lecture hours and one lab per week.

Core Curriculum Designation(s)
SU - Scientific Understanding (with Lab)
