PHY 1003 University Physics I

This course is the first half of the two-semester, calculus based general physics sequence, which is a required introductory course for physics majors and minors. It is also intended for students interested in natural sciences and engineering, to build up their understanding of physical science and develop their analytic reasoning and quantitative analysis skills. Topics include: kinematics in one, two and three dimensions, Newton's Laws and their applications, work and energy, system of particles and conservation of linear momentum, rotational kinematics and dynamics, angular momentum, gravity, elasticity, fluids, oscillations, wave motion, superposition, wave-particle duality and quantum physics, heat and temperature, kinetic theory, thermodynamics, thermal properties and processes. There is an accompanying laboratory.
