Description: This will be a one-semester introductory physics course. The emphasis will be on phenomena and applications students encounter in their daily lives. There will be experiments for them to do at home, with materials they have on hand. The content will be both verbal and quantitative, but the required mathematics will be simple. There will be a humanistic component, as students will learn about the history of physics through the lives of major scientists.

The course will appeal to both verbally-inclined and mathematically-inclined students since they will have the choice of writing a term paper on either (1) the history and philosophy of physics, or (2) the mathematical basis of physics.

This course fully meets the general education requirement in Natural Sciences.

Note: This course has a required video component.
