PHYS 2401 - Physics I

Credits: 4 Class: 4 Lab: 0
Prerequisite(s): Credit in MATH 2402 (or MATH 2412) enrollment in PHYS 2101.
This is the first in a two-part survey of physics for science majors using calculus. Topics include kinematics and dynamics in one, two and three dimensions, statics, dynamics, potentials, conservation of energy and momentum (linear and angular), rotational kinematics and dynamics, oscillations, gravitation, fluid mechanics, thermal properties of matter, kinetic theory of gases and the first and second law of thermodynamics. Credit for both PHYS 1307 and PHYS 2401 may not be applied toward a degree.
