GPHY 100 GENERAL PHYSICS

This will be an introductory but intense course in calculus-based physics focusing on linear and rotational dynamics and aspects of waves. The course kicks off with Newton's laws of motion, how to apply Newton's laws to systems that undergo translational, rotational, and vibrational motion. The goal will be to understand and apply the fundamental concepts involved. All physical sciences and engineering is based upon the foundation of mechanics and students will gain an appreciation of the basic underlying principles used and experience an increase in analytical ability that will carry over to whatever discipline he or she chooses to pursue.
