PH 101 — Fundamentals of Physics
This 'Fundamentals of Physics' course provide an introduction to a broad range of fundamental physics concepts. PH 101 is recommended for anyone seeking a good basic level of physics literacy. The sequence is designed for non-science majors, but also serves prospective science majors who want to gain a better conceptual grounding before taking General Physics. Emphasis is on everyday phenomena and conceptual understanding. PH 101 focuses on the nature of science, data analysis, Newton's explanation of motion, momentum, energy, gravity, the atomic nature of matter, and properties of solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas. The class environment includes labs, demonstrations, discussion, and individual and group activities. PH 101, 102, and 103 can be taken in any order.
