PHYS 1201 Physics 1 with Biomedical Applications
An inherent foundation of physics supports the biomedical sciences. Explore physics and its connection to health and biology in the first semester of a two-semester sequence in introductory physics, with a laboratory component. Topics include kinematics, dynamics, torque, energy, fluids, and thermal physics. Problems are solved using the basic concepts of calculus such as the derivative and simple integration. Fundamental concepts of physics are related to biomedical applications of special interest to students majoring in the biological sciences and those who plan to enter the health professions.
