PHY 201 - College Physics I

4.00 credits.

Calculus-based introduction to the basic concepts of classical mechanics, to include kinematics and dynamics (linear and rotational motion, work and energy, impulse and momentum), friction, statics, universal gravitation, and relativity. Students will write several MATLAB programs. *Corequisite(s): PHY 201L. Students who have credit for PHY 101 may not enroll in this course for credit. Hours: combined lecture/discussion 4, laboratory 2. Fall semester.
