TBA Textbook College Physics by Serway Faughn 5th 6th 7th editions or by Serway Vuille 8th edition Only volume 1 is needed for Physics 105 but volume 2 is used in Physics 106 so if you re planning to take that course too it may be cheaper to get a book with both volumes combined Feel free to obtain an inexpensive used copy Website http www physics byu edu faculty colton courses phy105 fall08 You can easily navigate to the course website from the Physics Dept homepage choose Courses then Class Web Pages and then Physics 105 Colton Blackboard The course will not use Blackboard at all There is no Blackboard site Google group The following Google group is available for you to discuss physics concepts HW problems etc with other students http groups google com group physics 105 fall2008 Student Email Addresses I will often send class information via email to your Route Y address If you do not use that address please set it to forward to the email account you do use Course Content In this class you will learn about the physics of motion with an emphasis on mechanical and thermodynamic systems You will learn and apply mathematical methods reasoning and general problem solving skills These new concepts and skills should enhance your experience of the physical world and prepare you to use physical concepts devices and instruments Students who successfully complete this course will be able to Solve introductory physics problems involving fundamental physics equations and laws Answer qualitative questions involving physics concepts Recognize physics principles at work in the world around them I also hope that as you learn more about the physical laws governing the universe your appreciation for the order simplicity and complexity of God s creations will increase I sincerely believe that one can come to know the Creator better by studying His creations Brigham Young Man is organized and brought forth as the king of the earth to understand to criticize examine improve manufacture arrange and organize the crude matter and honor and glorify the work of God s hands This is a wide field for the operation of man that reaches into eternity and it is good for
