Catalog Description:

Physical laws governing motion, force, energy, rotation, and vibration using calculus. Primarily for majors in the physical and mathematical sciences and engineering. One three-hour laboratory a week.

This course consists of seven units. Each unit has lectures and demonstrations, an experimental lab and/or a problem-solving lab, a problem set, and a quiz covering the material in that unit. At the end of the course there is a final exam covering all the units.

The seven units are:

1. Measurement and Motion
2. Vectors and 2-Dimentional Motion
3. Force and the Laws of Motion
4. Circular Motion and Gravity
5. Conservation of Energy
6. Conservation of Momentum
7. Conservation of Angular Momentum
