Mohammad Yousef, PhD., Professor of Physics
Spring - 4 Credits
PHYS 2299 is a one-semester
introduction to physics, intended for premedical students planning to
enrol in a physiology course sequence. The course provides a rich
exposure to the methods of physics and to the basic analytical and
scientific communication skills required by all scientists. A special emphasis is placed on the applications of physics in biology and medicine. Lectures are
illustrated with applications from the sciences, medicine, and everyday
life. Labs
highlight topics from the lectures and utilize computer-aided data
acquisition and analysis. Recitation sections emphasize learning via group problem-solving. The course content includes mechanics,
conservation laws, electricity and magnetism.
The level and rigor of the course are the same as in the PHYS 2207-2208
sequence.
