PHYS 3101

Topics and Methods of General Physics

Integration of mathematical concepts with basic physical principals. Physics topics chosen from material covered in PHYS 2101 and PHYS 2102. Mathematical concepts include: approximation methods, integration and differentiation, vector algebra, and coordinate systems. Exercises and problems emphasize topics traditionally challenging to beginning physics students. An emphasis is placed on developing additional background and problem solving skills necessary for students to succeed in upper-division physics courses.
