Objectives - List the basic standards of mass, length, and time in the SI, MKS, CGS, and U. S. Customary system. Develop problem solving skills in dimensional analysis, approximations in the order of magnitude, vectors applications related to physics problems. Explain both the theoretical and experimental basis of classical physics applied to electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. In addition this course provides skills development in laboratory techniques and data acquisition. Engage in a host of fundamental laboratory experiments that reinforces concepts in the lecture portion of the class.
