A student may couple PHYS 1030 with ASTR 1030, BIOL 1030, BIOL 1040, CHEM
1030, GEOL 1030, or PSCI 1030 (refer to natural Science - General Education
Core) to complete the 8-hour Natural Science requirement. Credit toward
graduation cannot be received for both courses in any pair: (PHYS 2010, PHYS
2120); (PHYS 1030, PHYS 2010); (PHYS 1030, PHYS 2120).
PHYS 1030 Introductory Physics (4)
An introductory study of selected topics in physics
involving a minimum of mathematics. Topics discussed include mechanics
of linear and curvilinear motion, energy gravitation, vibrations and waves,
sound electricity, magnetism and some atomic and nuclear physics.
Note the preceding introductory discussion concerning course credits.
PREREQUISITES: Academic assessment with all developmental studies
requirements completed. Three lecture, two laboratory hours per
week.
PHYS 2010 Non-Calculus Based Physics I (4)
An introduction to mechanics. Includes
study of conservation principles of energy and momentum, static's, rotational
motion, fluid motion and vibration motion. Designed primarily for
pre-professional health students. PREREQUISITE: MATH 1720 with
a grade of C or better. Three lecture, three laboratory hours per
week.
PHYS 2020 Non-Calculus Based Physics II (4)

three laboratory hours per week.
PHYS 2110 Calculus-Based Physics
I (4)
An introduction to mechanics.
Among the topics covered are the kinematics and dynamics of linear motion, the
conditions for static equilibrium, the principles of conservation of energy and
of momentum, Newton's law of gravitation, the kinematics and dynamics of
rotational motion, simple harmonic motion, mechanics of solids and fluids and
thermodynamics. Differential and integral calculus and simple vector analysis
are used throughout. Designed primarily for students majoring
in physics, chemistry or mathematics; required of all students in the Engineering
curriculum and strongly recommended for students planning to teach
mathematics or science in secondary schools. PREREQUISITE: MATH 1910.
