PHY

3 courses with the subject PHY, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

PHY 151General Physics I4

This first course, in a two-course algebra-based physics sequence, introduces students to mechanics, includ- ing kinematics, Newton’s Laws, energy conservation, momentum, simple harmonic motion, sound, elasticity, pressure, buoyancy, surface tension, fluid dynamics, and molecular transport phenomena. Designed for stu- dents who are pursuing studies in biological sciences, medical and health sciences, environmental science, and general science. The course places major empha- sis on helping students develop problem solving skills, deepen conceptual understanding, and increase ap- preciation of the applications of physics in the health sciences. A laboratory is a required part of the course. or permission of Instructor. General Education: N.

PHY 152General Physics II4

A continuation of PHY 151 College Physics I, this course introduces students to electricity and magne- tism, including such topics as Maxwell’s Equations, basic electric circuits, waves, optics, and an introduc- tion to atomic and nuclear physics with emphasis on radiation and health. Designed for students who are pursuing studies in biological sciences, medical and health sciences, environmental science, and general science. The course places major emphasis on help- ing students develop problem solving skills, deepen conceptual understanding, and increase appreciation of the applications of physics in the health sciences. A laboratory is a required part of the course. Prerequi- sites: PHY 151, or High School Algebra and Trigonom- etry, or permission of Instructor. General Education: N.
