PH 222 - General Physics with Calculus II

4 credits
Calculus-based introduction to general physics for science majors with special emphasis on applications and problem-solving in healthcare, biology, chemistry, and sustainability. Topics covered include fluid statics and fluid dynamics; temperature and heat; the ideal gas law and the kinetic theory of gases; thermodynamics (with some statistical mechanics); oscillations, simple harmonic motion, waves and the principle of superposition; sound and the physics of hearing; and electric charges, forces, and fields. Differential calculus is applied to topics throughout the term, and basic integral calculus is applied to topics covered the later half of the term. Three lectures and one recitation. Prerequisite(s): PH 221 and MTH 252 (MTH 252 may be taken concurrently with PH 222 to satisfy the prerequisite). Corequisite(s): PH 225, PH 222R.
