Course Content

Welcome to our introductory physics course for engineers and scientists! This course is an introduction to the fundamental physical forces that shape our universe. We will cover topics including linear and rotational motion, energy, work, gravity, oscillations/waves, etc. You will gain physical intuition and problem solving ability which will allow you to explain and predict what goes on in the world. Physics I is the foundation which underlies disciplines as diverse as astronomy, biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, medicine, and meteorology.

Class Meetings

Since ideas and definitions from the text will be used freely in class, it is necessary for you to read and study the assigned chapters before class. I will avoid presenting the exact examples in your text. Instead, class meetings are for addressing the difficult points in the text as well as for helping to place the readings in a larger context. The more actively engaged you are in class, the better you will learn and perform.
