PHYS 101 Physics for the Health Sciences
This course will provide students with a comprehensive introduction to key topics in physics. Specifically, the course will be divided in four main sections: basic mechanics (e.g., kinematics, equilibrium, vectors, work and energy, and Newton's laws); vibrations and waves (e.g., sound, harmonic waves, and Doppler effects); electricity (e.g., Ohm's law and electric circuits), and; light and optics (e.g., reflection, refraction and magnification). As part of the pre-health curriculum, this course will also connect concepts to human body structure and functioning.
Students enrolling in this course must enroll in the parallel laboratory section PHYS 101L.
