MWF 9:00-9:50am
Burns lecture hall (Keck Scence Center B31)
This is the first half of a calculus-based introduction to physics intended for students with majors outside the physical sciences. The topics focus on classical mechanics but include some "modern" content as well. The goal of the course is to teach physical reasoning and problem solving skills (not dry facts and memorization). With luck, you'll also get a glimpse of the beautifully simple laws hidden within the complexity of the natural world.
It is important that you read the syllabus for the course, which includes information about course policies, grading, and a rough schedule of topics. Most importantly, please pay attention to the scheduling of exams (including the final). The handout on grading policies is important, too.
Most of the online content for the course (including a schedule and some of the class handouts) will be on the colleges' Sakai course management system. Look at the course there for more information.
