PHY 101-102 General Physics I, II (8 credits)

This two-semester sequence is an algebra-based physics course intended primarily for students majoring in biological and health sciences. Emphasis is on understanding fundamental principles and applying them to the analysis of physical phenomena, with several applications that arise in biology. Topics include classical kinematics and dynamics, waves, optics, electricity and magnetism.

Corequisites: PHY 101L for PHY 101; PHY 102L for PHY 102. PHY 101 is prerequisite to PHY 102.
