PHYS 1307 - General Physics I

Credits: 3 Class: 3 Lab: 0
Prerequisite(s): Credit or enrollment in MATH 1302 or the equivalent, enrollment in PHYS 1107.
This is the first in a two-part survey of general physics for science majors focusing on elementary principles of mechanics, heat and wave motion using elementary trigonometry and algebra. Topics include kinematics, dynamics of particles and rigid bodies; conservation of mass, momentum and energy; simple harmonic motion and characteristics of waves, mechanical and thermal properties of solids and fluids; and thermal properties, kinetics and dynamics of ideal gases. Credit for both PHYS 1307 and PHYS 2401 may not be applied toward a degree.
