PHYS-21000 General Physics 1

This course is the first of three introductory calculus-based Physics courses and provides the foundation for the other two. Translational, rotational, and oscillatory motions of objects and the forces and torques acting on them are covered. Newton's Laws and the laws of conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum are emphasized. This course plus the associated lab (PHYS 21100) fulfills the Science General Education requirement.
