PHYS 200 — Physics for Engineers I with Lab
The first in a two semester series, this course represents a calculus based approach to introductory physics, primarily serving students with a strong mathematics and high school physics background intending to major in engineering. Topics include Kinematics, Dynamics, Newton’s Laws, Kinetic and Potential Energy, Rotational Motion, Gravitation, Simple Harmonic Motion, and Mechanical Waves. Emphasis will be placed on understanding natural phenomena conceptually and numeri cal problem solving through recitations and workshops, in addition to lectures. Weekly laboratory experiments assist the student to develop a feel for realistic measurements and meaningful calculations in applied problem solving. Prerequisite(s): MATH-190 Corequisite(s): MATH-260
