PHY 100: Physics for the Liberal Arts

Conceptual physics is a laboratory course that emphasizes the concepts of physics while de-emphasizing complex mathematical calculations. Topics include Newtonian mechanics, heat and temperature, sound and topics from modern physics. There are three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Students who have received credit for PHY 111 or PHY 112 cannot subsequently receive credit for PHY 100. In the case that a student completes PHY 100 prior to completing PHY 111 or PHY 112, then PHY 100 will count as free elective credit only.
