An examination of the basic principles of mechanics with special emphasis on conceptual and mathematical problem-solving. Topics include linear kinematics Newtons Laws rotational motion equilibrium harmonic motion and waves. Prerequisite: High school physics or PHY 201 and MAT 203. Semester Hour(s): 5 hour(s) Lecture / Lab Hours: 4 lec/2 lab/week Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI): P2 900L and PHY 911 Third Semester - 16-18 Hours Course # Course Title Hours Social / Behavioral Science 3 Hours Fine Arts 3 Hours Additional Science 3-5 Hours ** Electives 3 Hours * MAT205 Calc & Analytic Geometry III 4 Hours The elementary ideas concerning conic sections polar curves and vector-valued and multivariate functions are covered. These topics include area arc length and tangents for polar curves. In addition vectors vector derivatives curvature and motion in two and three space are studied. The multivariate concepts of differentiability partial differentiation gradient vectors LaGrange multipliers finding relative extreme values and multiple integration are studied. The course also includes material on vector fields line integrals independence of path Greens Theorem surface integrals the Divergence Theorem and Stokess Theorem.
