Notes

A conceptual course designed to introduce students to the major areas of physics.  It includes a number of foundation topics, such as the laws of motion, the universal principles of conservation, gravitation, with special emphasis on light and sound waves.  Although the course is based on the conceptual approach, it does contain a mathematical component.  There is no laboratory requirement, but there will be extensive use of hands-on demonstrations.  Spring and as needed.
