Physics and Atmospheric Science - Introduction To Physics
PHYC 1290 Introduction To Physics
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course concentrates on oscillations and waves, optics, electricity and magnetism. Primarily for students interested in Physical Sciences and Engineering. This course is required for all Engineering programs. Students entering this course must be familiar with algebra, graphs, and trigonometry, and should be taking calculus (
MATH 1000.03/1010.03 or
MATH 1280.03/1290.03) concurrently. Ideas are introduced through in-class demonstrations enabling students to relate physical theory to events in the real world. Students explore many concepts via hands-on labs.
