The first semester of algebra-based, Introductory Physics course taken by college students majoring in the life-sciences and students in any major preparing for further studies in the health sciences. This course is focused on the understanding and applications of Statics, Dynamics, and Kinematics applied to the study of biological systems. Both linear and rotational aspects of these branches of classical mechanics are covered in this course. A strong background in algebra and trigonometry is required.

Note: This course meets the physics requirement for students majoring in Biology and meets Scientific Reasoning Learning Outcome (SCI).

Four credits.
