Physics 1100

The goal of this course is for students to enhance their view of the physical world by allowing them to acquire a basic understanding of the physical concepts involved with motion and forces, momentum and energy, rotation, gravitation, properties of matter, heat and thermodynamics, waves and sound, electricity and magnetism, light, and atomic/nuclear physics.

This course will focus on conceptual understanding rather than mathematical manipulation. However, as mathematics is the language of science, it is expected that you can perform basic algebraic calculations and recognize basic geometric relations throughout the course.

Class Announcements

Welcome to Physics 1100-001 & -002 (Fall 2024)

Please continue to monitor this space for important information and course and updates. This page will be updated on a regular basis.  (Last update: December 12th, 2024.)

  • Course averages (Quiz / Lab / HW, etc.) are available in Blackboard.
  • Final grades were posted to Blackboard at 11:00 AM on Thursday, December 12th.
  • Special note about final grades: The grade that you received is the grade that you earned as per the syllabus.  It is possible that the grade that you earned is different from the grade that you wanted, the grade that YOU thought you deserved, the grade that you needed so that you wouldn't get in trouble, etc.  Do not contact me asking for a grade change unless you can provide definitive mathematical proof that I made an error in calculating the grade that you earned (as per the syllabus).  The semester is over, so do not contact me asking for special considerations, extra credit projects, etc. as I will not respond kindly to such requests.
  • Have a GREAT winter break!  Happy holidays!  Be safe and stay healthy!  Good luck in your future studies!
