Document Content and Description Below

COLLEGE PHYSICS I { PHY 2053 (4 credits) SYLLABUS { SUMMER 2016 Monday { Thursday 9:15 AM - 11:25 AM; SO 250 Course description: The algebra - and trigonometry-based course surveys fundamental law ... s and phenomena of mechanics, fluids, heat, wave motion, and sound. Emphasis on understanding of physical concepts through examples drawn from the physical and life sciences. No credit for physics majors. The associated lab course is PHY 2048L. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in one of the following: MAC 1114 or 1147 or 2233 or 2253 or 2241 or 2311. Course objectives/Student Learning Outcomes: The goal of this class (and its sequel) is to provide students with a thorough understanding, both at the conceptual and problem solving level, of the laws and methods of physics. At the end of this course students will be able to understand and explain phenomena in mechanics, thermodynamics, and acoustics. Moreover, they will be able to solve word problems in these areas at a level of proficiency using algebra and trigonometry. 1. Instructor: Luc T. Wille; Department of Physics, SE 108 (or SE 120).
