This course is the first term of a general physics course
with calculus. The focus is on Newtonian mechanics and its
ramifications and thermodynamics. An objective of this
course is to go beyond a conceptual understanding of the
material and to develop the ability to achieve precise,
quantitative solutions to examples illustrating the physics
being studied.
MAJOR READINGS
Tipler, PHYSICS.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Two hour exams plus a final
exam. Weekly problem sets.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
A semester of
calculus (in secondary school or college) is a prerequisite.
Problem solving help sessions, run by undergraduate TAs, are
provided weekly. The associated laboratory course, PHYS123,
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.
