Syllabus

Last Updated: April 20, 2017

Course Description:	A calculus-based science-engineering general physics course covering vectors, motion in one, two, and three dimensions, Newton's laws, work and energy, conservation of energy, linear momentum, collisions, rotational kinematics, rotational dynamics, equilibrium of rigid bodies, oscillations, and gravitation. This course will require a significant amount of work and effort on your part; please do your best to keep up and not fall behind. I would like each and every one of you to succeed in this class, but there's only so much I can do without your participation. If you need extra help or practice, please do not hesitate to let me know.
