COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is the first of three semester introductory course for students in sciences and engineering. 1301W/1302W/2503 is designed to prepare you for work in your field by: building a solid conceptual understanding of real world applications based on a few fundamental principals of physics:practicing solving realistic problems using logical reasoning and quantitative problem solving skills: applying those physics concepts and problem solving skills to new situations;and learning to effectively communicate technical information. To achieve these goals, this course requires you to understand the material in depth. The emphasis will always be on the application of physics to real life situations, and a large fraction of the problems will be designed to simulate such situations.1302W will emphasize the application of physics to mechanical systems beginning with the description of interacting objects and the forces that they exert on each other. Conservation ideas will also be used to describe the effect of interactions on systems of objects. A laboratory is included to allow you to apply both the concepts and the problem solving skills taught in this course to the real world. It will also emphasize technical communication skills. A discussion session will give you the opportunity to discuss your conceptual understanding and practice your problem solving skills. This course assumes a background equivalent to high school physics, and some familiarty with differential and integral calculus. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU, AND PERHAPS INSPIRING YOU Cheers, Norton M. Hintz
