PHYS 2A
General Physics I
Course Description
This course provides an elementary study of the basic physical laws describing the motion of bodies, as well as the study of oscillations, waves, and sound. Students will experience the applications of everyday physical phenomena in problem-solving using verbal logic, critical thinking, and mathematics. In the laboratory, students will explore experimental scientific procedures by comparing theoretical models to classic experiments using standard measurement techniques, basic uncertainty analysis, and graphical interpretations of data.
