Courses

PHY 201: General Physics I - Trig Based

Semester Hours 4

This course is designed to cover general physics using college algebra and basic trigonometry. Specific topics include kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion, conservation of momentum and energy, and the laws of thermodynamics. The contributions of physics to modern technology and society are considered.  A laboratory is required.

PHY 202: General Physics II - Trig Based

Semester Hours 4

This continuation course is designed to cover general physics using college algebra and basic trigonometry. Specific topics include wave mechanics, electromagnetism, light, and optics. The contributions of physics to modern technology and society are considered.  A laboratory is required.

PHY 213: General Physics with Cal I
