14 courses with the subject PHYS, 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.

PHYS 151College Physics I Lecture (3 SH)

The first semester of an algebra-based introductory physics sequence. This course is an introduction to classical mechanics, gravity, heat, and sound. Lectures cover the circumstances of important original discoveries and the related concepts and theories. Through laboratory experimentation and reporting, students may learn procedures by which scientists acquire and analyze data, methods by which scientists develop and evaluate theories, and criteria for effectively communicating scientific or technical findings. A major objective of this course is to equip students with a broad foundation of fundamental physical concepts and principles. Core: NS
