PHYSICS 1740 21 Physics I
The first part of a two-semester, calculus-based introduction to concepts, laws, and structure of physics. Topics include kinematics, Newton's laws, energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, the conservation laws, gravitational force, harmonic motion, wave motion and interference, and sound. Small-group problem-solving exercises and active class participation are integral parts of the course. All textbook materials for this course will be billed as a separate course fee; students should not purchase their own textbooks. This course has weekly in-person exams, at which attendance is required. All exams are every Friday from 1:30 p.m. - 4 :30 p.m., with the exception of one exam to be held on 7/2/26 due to the 4th of July holiday. Concurrent enrollment in Calculus I is required for this course, although previous completion of Calculus I is very strongly recommended. Taking Introductory Physics as a first-year student is compatible with on-time completion of all pre-health requirements.
