PHY-106 Fundamentals of Physics

An examination of physical principles and phenomena with applications in mechanics, properties of matter, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, light, and quantum physics. The course does not assume that students have had high school physics and is intended for nonscience liberal arts and technical students. It will include large group mini-labs and demonstrations. PHY-106 taken concurrently with PHY-107 Fundamentals of Physics Lab also is designed as an entry-level course for PHY-150, standard college physics. PHY-107 taken concurrently with PHY-106 will satisfy the physical science general education requirement. (4 contact hours)
