PHYS 111 Introduction to Classical Physics I
This course and its continuation PHYS 112 serve as a two-semester introduction to classical physics.  Applications are chosen that focus on engineering and the physical sciences.  Topics include principles of classical mechanics; vectors, kinematics, particle and rigid body rotation dynamics and statics; conservation laws; and thermodynamics.  The course meets three times a week for two consecutive periods consisting of integrated lecture, discussion and laboratory.  This course fulfills the core-area in natural science in the Natural Science and Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning and the second-level Computer Competency requirements in the core curriculum.
Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in MATH 113.
