PHY 151 College Physics I Lecture: 3 Lab: 2 Clinic: 0 Credits: 4 This course uses algebra- and trigonometry-based mathematical models to introduce the fundamental concepts that describe the physical world. Topics include units and measurement, vectors, linear kinematics and dynamics, energy, power, momentum, fluid mechanics, and heat. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the principles involved and display analytical problem-solving ability for the topics covered.
This course has been approved for transfer under the CAA as a general education course in Natural Science. This is a Universal General Education Transfer Component (UGETC) course.
Pre-requisite(s): C or better in MAT 171 or MAT 271 . Course is typically offered in Fall, Spring, and Summer. Course has transfer restrictions - 20 years
