Introduction to Physics

If you need to take physics (either PHY 111 or PHY 211) but you...
... don't feel prepared, or
... are concerned about your math skills, or
... would just like to get a leg up on the competition

Then consider enrolling in this NEW COURSE

This non-credit course meets for two hours each week and presents the basic concepts necessary for a student to be successful in a first-year algebra- or calculus-based physics course.

Topics include: 

-  learning the vocabulary of physics

-  solving mathematical proglems involving algebraic, trigonometric, vector and graphical analysis

-  incorporating the concepts of kinematics and Newton's laws to evaluate physics problems and solve for unknowns

Specifically designed for students who may be under-prepared to take an algebra- or calculus-based college physics class and who need to review the mathematics required to be successful in physics.  Prospective students should either be concurrently enrolled in a college algebra course or have successfully completed one.
