3 Credit(s)
Introduction to Physics I and II are first year algebra-based courses. They are designed for those students that have a relatively weak background in physics. PHY 100 includes vectors, and scalars, kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotational motion, thermodynamics, fluids and wave motion. Laboratory work illustrates theoretical concepts and develops laboratory skills and techniques.

Prerequisite(s):
  • C in Physics 11 or PHY 050 .
  • C+ in one of Principles of Math 12, Pre Calculus 12, MAT 060  or MAT 067; or successful math assessment

Corequisite(s):
  • MAT 102  or MAT 181  (MAT 181  is recommended for most students; However, students continuing on to life sciences at the University of Victoria could take MAT 102 ). 
  • PHY-100L
