PHYSIC 107: College Physics I

This is a non-calculus introductory physics class for life-science students and others with a program requirement for a year of physics at this level. You should take this class concurrently (in the same semester) with the laboratory class PHYSIC 181: PHYSIC 181 is the laboratory component of PHYSIC 107. The only exception to this is if you are enroled in a program that does not require the laboratory component. When Offered: This class is offered in Spring, Fall, and Summer semesters every year. So you do not have to take PHYSIC 107 in your first (fall) semester, but can also take this class in the spring of your first year. (In that case you can take the second half of college physics, PHYSIC 108, in the summer semester, or in the following fall.) Topics Covered: mechanics, fluids, wave motion, kinetic theory of gases, temperature and heats Note: Students may not receive credit for both PHYSIC 107-108 and 113-114.
