Course Overview
The course 201-202 is equivalent to both Physics 203-204 and 205-206 (laboratory). It fulfills all the physics requirements for science majors, as well as admission to health profession schools and graduate schools. Students admitted to Physics 201-202 have an opportunity to learn physics with additional class time, smaller sections, and an innovative and integrated learning environment. We expect all students to do well in this course. You will need to spend at least as much time out of class as in class on the material described in the syllabus. We also recommend that you form study groups. Often it helps to work with other people. Bouncing ideas and questions off each other may clear things up - and there's often someone experienced around to ask if you really get stuck. This course requires us to have a good understanding to some simple math such as vectors, simple derivatives, trigonometry etc....
Prerequisites Note
If you aren't fairly comfortable with math (especially algebra and trigonometry), you may need to brush up. You will need to invest significant time doing problems, studying, and getting help, particularly if you haven't had any physics in high school or college before.
