Course overview
This calculus-based course in conjunction with Physics 1A, develops a student's quantitative understanding of introductory-level physics.
Course learning outcomes
- Apply physics principles and concepts to physical situations to describe and explain those situations qualitatively
- Use mathematical methods and computational techniques to setup and solve quantitative problems relating to physical situations
- Critically reflect on the solution to a problem to assess the reasonableness of that solution, and that appropriate units and significant figures have been used
- Apply scientific methods experimentally and analyse the resulting experimental data, accounting for uncertainties inherent within the experimental methods, techniques, and equipment used
- Work cooperatively in a team to solve theoretical and practical problems
- Document the processes and approaches used, and solution arrived at, when solving problems and working in an experimental or laboratory environment
- Present and convey scientific and technical information in the form of a poster or video, acknowledging and referencing work other than their own
