PHY 107 GENERAL PHYSICS
An algebra-based introduction to the foundations of physics. Areas of study include classical physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics) and selected topics in modern physics.
Notes
Three hours of lecture and discussion per week; three hours of laboratory per week. Knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is assumed. Either
PHY 107 or
PHY 109 is a prerequisite for
PHY 108. Students may only receive credit for one set of introductory physics courses either
PHY 107, 108 or
PHY 109, 110. Potential physics majors should enroll in
PHY 109,
PHY 110 rather than
PHY 107,
PHY 108. Students with Advanced Placement credit for the Physics 1, 2, or C examination may take a departmental placement test to enter the physics sequence at the
PHY 108 or
PHY 110 level.
Corequisite
Registration is also required in
PHY 107L.
Enrollment Limit
Enrollment limited to 15 students per section.
