Students are expected to be familiar with basic algebra, geometry, and trigonometry but need no background in calculus. Topics include mechanics, fluids, and thermodynamics. Students cannot claim credit for both the PHYS 121-PHYS 122 and PHYS 141-PHYS 142 sequences.
Prerequisite(s): MATH 117 , MATH 118 , MATH 120 , MATH 131  or MATH 141  Corequisite(s): PHYS 143
