Course Learning Outcomes

1. Apply basic physical principles to the study of oscillators, waves, electric charges, electrical circuits, magnetic systems, and thermodynamic systems.
2. Make and analyze measurements of physical phenomena, applying the proper use of units, dimensions, statistics, uncertainty, graphing, and calculation.
3. Apply arithmetic, algebraic, geometric and Calculus principles to the analysis of oscillators, waves, electric charges, electrical circuits, magnetic systems, and thermodynamic systems.
4. Connect physics to other sciences, the arts, and everyday life.
