General Physics I
PHYS113 FA
This course is the first term of a general physics course with calculus. The focus is on Newtonian mechanics and its ramifications. 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.
