| Physics 231: General Physics I |
Physics 231 is the first course in a three-semester, calculus-based, introductory-physics sequence. This sequence explores the nature of matter and its interactions: Phys. 231 focuses on mechanics; 232 focuses on Electricity & Magnetism and 233 focuses on a variety of subjects - wave phenomena, quantum mechanics, optics, and thermodynamics. Throughout this sequence, you will engage in the physics program – applying a hand-full of fundamental principles to model the behavior of diverse systems. In Phys. 231, they range from planets to sound waves to atomic nuclei. Unlike lower-level physics introductions, Phys. 231 takes an explicitly modern perspective from the start, gives computational approaches their due, and develops the tools of calculus (timed to parallel Calc I.)
