PHYS 101 - Concepts of Physics

For non-science majors. Topics vary from year to year. 101 covers classical physics, such as Newton’s laws, science fiction, weight room physics, and weather. 102 covers modern physics, such as relativity, atomic structure, quantum physics, and the atomic and hydrogen bombs. Premedical and pre-dental students should take PHYS 201, 202 rather than 101, 102. They may be taken in either order. (Y)
