PH 2750 - Physics for the Life Sciences II


(3)
A second semester introductory physics course for students majoring in science or interested in medical or therapy-related pre-professional programs. This course will emphasize the scientific method and physical reasoning, particularly a conceptual understanding and the applicability of physics to the students’ major area of study and career interests. Course content will cover concepts of rotational motion, fluids, electricity and light. These physical theories support a huge variety of phenomena directly accessible to our senses by improving our understanding of rotational and fluid mechanics of the body, the electromagnetic spectrum and the relationship of physics to medicine, healthcare and therapy. Students will be expected to demonstrate conceptual and applied understanding of physics principles through class discourse, the design of projects utilizing physics principles, and written assessment.
