This course will start with a descriptive approach. You will first learn about kinematics-the branch of mechanics that describes motion. From mechanics you’ll move to the study of energy, power, and momentum. These concepts will be defined rigorously. You’ll learn how Newton’s laws need to be modified in order to avoid limitations: a few new and simple ideas introduced by Einstein. To conclude you’ll learn about Heat and Thermodynamics, including the 1st and 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
There are no prerequisites for this course. However, it is suggested that students complete Calculus I (MAT250) prior to enrolling in this course.
