PHYS 131 Fundamental Physics I |
|---|
Fundamental Physics I covers the basics of force, acceleration, and energy using trigonometry and algebra. No calculus is used. A series of laboratory activities is used in support of the material.
Lecture: The lecture meets three times a week as with any other normal course. You need to be present at the classroom meeting place in order to benefit from the lecture portion of the class, upon which 75% of the grade is based.
Lab: In addition to meeting three times a week (for a total of three hours), this course also has a lab component.
