Offered: DMND

Course is designed to address a variety of subjects required to meet the needs of lifelong learning students. Not available for transfer nor applicable as an elective.

This course is not a lab science course and does not fulfill the requirement for lab sciences in the Associate of Arts degree. A primarily conceptual approach to classical physics; mechanics, heat, sound, optics, electricity, and magnetism. Intended for non-science majors who have not had high school physics.
Prerequisites: Completion of MATH-095 and RDNG-095 or appropriate Math and Reading Accuplacer scores.
Offered: FASP

Non-calculus treatment of Newtonian mechanics, fluids, and sound. Satisfies requirements for most pre-medical and pre-dental programs and some science programs. With permission of the instructor, students may take this course without the lab. [NM Common Course Number PHYS 1114, Area III; Laboratory Science Core]
Prerequisites: Take Math-185. Take Math-180 or higher. Completion of RDNG-095 and ENGL-099 or appropriate Reading and English Accuplacer scores.
Corequisites: PHYS-211L
Offered: FASP

This course is the first in a two-semester laboratory sequence, which accompanies the algebra-based introductory physics sequence (211,212). This course satisfies requirements for most pre-medical and pre-dental programs and some science programs. It is strongly recommended that this course is taken at the same time as PHYS-211. For students who have completed PHYS-211, this lab may be taken separately with permission of the instuctor.
Corequisites: PHYS-211

A continuation of PHYS 211 in which electricity, magnetism, light, and modern physics are studied. Strongly recommended this course be taken with PHYS-212L. With permission of the instructor, students may take this course without the lab. [NM Common Course Number PHYS 1124, Area III; Laboratory Science Core]
Prerequisites: Take PHYS-211; minimum grade C
Corequisites: PHYS-211L
Offered: DMND

This course is the second in a two-semester laboratory sequence, which accompanies the algebra-based introductory physics sequence (211,212). This course satisfies requirements for most pre-medical and pre-dental programs and some science programs. It is strongly recommended that this course is taken at the same time as PHYS-212. For students who have completed PHYS-212, this lab may be taken separaely with permission of the instructor.
Corequisites: PHYS-212
Offered: DMND

A calculus level treatment of classical mechanics and waves. Physics principles are emphasized and illustrated by examples and problem practice. Strongly recommended this course be taken with PHYS 215L. With permission of the instructor, students may take this course without the lab.
