PHY- Physics Courses

PHY 105 Conceptual Physics
4 credits
PHY 105 explores the physics of how things work, utilizing many activities and demonstrations. This course studies mechanics, heat, properties of matter, electricity and magnetism, light and modern physics. This course includes laboratory experience.

PHY 111 Physics: Algebra-Based I with Lab
5 credits
Prerequisites: MAT 121
PHY 111 topics include: kinematics, force, circular motion, energy, momentum, torque, rotational dynamics, simple harmonic motion, temperature, heat and thermodynamics. The concepts and theories presented in class are explored through the demonstrations and the `hands-on` experiments. This is a general physics course that is recommended for all of the health sciences and all other interested students. Students entering engineering or one of the advanced sciences should register for PHY 211.

PHY 112 Physics: Algebra-Based II with Lab
5 credits
Prerequisites: PHY 111
PHY 112 is the continuation of the PHY 111 course. Topics covered in this class include: sound waves, electric fields, electric circuits, magnetic fields, optics, and modern physics. The concepts and theories presented in class are explored through the demonstrations and hands-on experiments.

PHY 211 Physics: Calculus-Based I with Lab
5 credits
Prerequisites: MAT 201
PHY 211 topics include: kinematics, force, gravity, energy, momentum, torque, rotational dynamics, fluids and waves. The concepts and theories presented in class are explored through the demonstrations and the hands-on experiments. This first semester calculus-based physics course is recommended for students entering engineering or one of the advance sciences.

PHY 212 Physics: Calculus-Based II with Lab
5 credits
Prerequisites: PHY 211
PHY 212 is the continuation of the PHY 211 course. Some of the topics covered in this class include: thermodynamics, electric fields, electric circuits, magnetic fields, light and optics, and modern physics. The concepts and theories presented in class are explored through demonstrations and hands-on experiments.
