This is the first semester of calculus-based physics. Topics covered include kinematics, vectors, dymanics, energy, momentum, rotational dynamics, simple harmonic motion, gravitation, and others. This course is designed primarily for physics majors, engineering students, and chemistry majors, and that is primarily who takes it.
The grading goes as follows:
| Tests |
65% |
| Webassign |
10% |
| Final Exam |
25% |
| TOTAL |
100% |
The text for the course is Physics
for Scientists and Engineers, 6th
edition, by Serway and Jewett. The homework questions and
problems
will be assigned from those listed at the end of the chapters.
The assignments are as follows (just like on the syllabus):
