PHYS 004A — General Physics 5 Units
This is the first course in the calculus-based physics sequence for majors in physical sciences, mathematics, 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 principles are discussed. A problem solving approach emphasizing both conceptual understanding and basic mathematical modeling is used. (C-ID PHYS 205)
