Introductory Physics I
PHYS 111
Fall 2012
Section: 01  

This is the first of two noncalculus courses covering the fundamental principles of physics and is targeted specifically toward life-science majors and students planning to enter the health professions. Note that PHYS111 and PHYS112 may be taken in any order. By drawing on examples from everyday life, such as car crashes, basketball, and dance, as well as drawing from examples of interest to life scientists, the physics of mechanics, atoms, and nuclei will be covered in the first semester. The emphasis will be on developing a conceptual understanding of the physical processes as well as problem-solving skills. The lab PHYS121 is recommended.
