Fall-Spring (3) Sher, Staff (107 and 108 each satisfies GER 2A,)

This two-semester sequence covers the fundamental concepts of physics. Newtonian mechanics, wave motion, electric and magnetic fields, simple circuits, and some modern physics are discussed. Designed for students in the lifesciences, including pre-meds. High school science as well as algebra and trigonometry are assumed. Students may not obtain credit for both PHYS 101 and PHYS 107, or for both PHYS 102 and PHYS 108. PHYS 107 is a prerequisite for Physics 108.
