  • Motion in two and three dimensions
  • Applications of Newton’s laws
  • Momentum
  • Systems of particles
  • Rotational kinematics
  • Rotational dynamics

OBJECTIVE:

In this course we strive to give as complete and regorous a survey of introductory of mechanics and its applications as is possible at this level.

Our physics education survey consistently shows that students have significant difficulties in understanding the subject of mechanic. We have therefore expanded our illustration with doing more problems while simultaneously decreasing some of the related applications. This also has been done in part to avoid overloading students with new material on mechanics in the first year.

OBJECTIVE:

In this course we strive to give as complete and regorous a survey of introductory electromagnetism and its applications as is possible at this level.

Our physics education survey consistently shows that students have significant difficulties in understanding the subject of electrical and magnetic properties of material. We have therefore expanded our illustration with doing more problems while simultaneously decreasing some of the related applications such as coverage of multi loop circuits and measuring instruments. Also has been done in part to overloading students with new material on electromagnetism in the first year.
