    Description
    This is the first course in the calculus-based physics sequence for students majoring in mathematics, physical sciences, engineering, and computer science. Specific topics include kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, work and energy, momentum, rotation, simple harmonic motion, universal gravitation, fluids, and mechanical waves. Practical applications of these subjects are discussed in class and incorporated into group projects developed along the term. A problem solving approach, using mathematical expressions and symbols, is routinely employed in lectures and homework to illustrate the laws of physics governing real world situations.
