PHYS 2105
      

Mechanical physics, Oscillations, and Waves

Offered in the Spring

 

Course Description:

The fundamental principles of mechanics are treated within the mathematical framework of elenemtary differential and integral calculus. Vectors, Newton's Laws of Motion, particle dynamics, work and energy, conservation laws, rotational motion, rotational dynamics, mechanical oscillations, gravitation, fluid statics and fluid dynamics, oscillations and wave motion are discussed.

The 'user friendly definition':

This is the calculus-based physics sequence intended for Scientists and Engineers. Problem solving skills are emphasized along with understanding of fundamental principles.
