PHYS100, Introductory Physics (N01)
This course requires an enrolment key		Overview of physics for the non-science major. Specific sections include
mechanics with kinematics, Newton's laws and the conservation laws; properties
of matter, including the four states of matter; heat and thermodynamics; sound;
electricity and magnetism; light and optics; and a small segment on modern
physics, i.e., atomic and nuclear physics. There are four additional lab
experiences included. Satisfies UNR science core curriculum requirements.
