PHY 131-E Classical Physics I

First part of a two-semester physics sequence for
physical-sciences or engineering majors who have a
strong mathematics background and are ready for a
fast learning pace. It covers mechanics, wave motion,
kinetic theory, and thermodynamics. Calculus is used
concurrently with its development in MAT 131. Three
l e c t u re hours and one recitation hour per week.
Laboratory component, PHY 133, must be taken concurrently;
a common grade for both courses will be
