Introductory Physics I
PHYS 111 FA
PHYS111 and PHYS112 are non-calculus courses covering fundamental principles of physics and are targeted specifically toward non-science majors. This fall course will concentrate on matter, mechanics, heat, and waves.
Theory building and theory testing will be studied through examples, demonstrations, and problem solving.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Class exams and a final exam. Problem sets. Quizzes.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
While a background in calculus is not required, each student who enrolls in the course is assumed to be familiar with exponents and powers-of-10 ("scientific") notation, geometry, simple trigonometry, logarithms and
proportions. Problem-solving help
sessions are run by TAs. The associated laboratory course PHYS121 is optional. Students planning to enter the health professions should be aware that a year of physics WITH LABORATORY is usually required for admission.
Consult your major adviser if you
are in doubt about similar requirements in your field.
