PHYS 100: Introduction to Physics

5 Cr
Quarters: SR
Introduction to Physics is a survey course designed to introduce and enhance a student’s understanding of elementary physics. This course emphasizes a more conceptual and less mathematical approach to physics. Topics include mechanics, heat, sound, electricity and magnetism, light, and special topics. While primarily designed for the non-science major (i.e., students in the arts, humanities, and social sciences), this is an excellent beginning science course for any student.
Prerequisite: MATH 084  or MATH 085  or YVC placement into MATH 095  or above.
Distribution for DTA: Natural Sciences
