This calculus-based course covers kinematics, Newton's laws, energy, momentum, rotational motion, and oscillations. Sometimes referred to as "University Physics" in other universities, PHY 107 is typically required by physics and engineering programs. It covers electricity and magnetism, light, optics, and modern physics. This course is the second section of College Physics I, also required by health related majors and some science and other programs. It covers mechanics, heat, waves, and sound. This algebra-based course is required by health-related majors and some science and other programs (not including Physics). The algebra portion is tested, and optional material on calculus and its application to physics problems is included, though not tested on, with the intention of providing thorough assistance to students who will take calculus-based General Physics. This course is intended to places struggling students on an even playing field with their peers who possess stronger math backgrounds.
This course offers a preparation in math and application of math to physics problems, skills critical to success in introductory physics courses. Students who struggle with College Physics (algebra-based) and General Physics (calculus-based) typically have difficulty with the mathematics portion and/or applying math to physics concepts. Exams may be taken either at UB, or at scheduled times at testing centers at colleges and universities elsewhere. All homework assignments are completed and submitted online. Both recitation and office hours are online and interactive. Lecture videos may be viewed at any time. The labs associated with the courses are separate courses these are not offered online, only during the fall and spring semesters and on campus in the summer semester. Summer and winter classes differ from other semesters in the number of mid-term exams: Two for summer courses and one for winter courses. All exams are proctored, both on campus and elsewhere, and are treated exactly the same – in terms of transcript and transferring credits to other schools – as their counterparts during the regular semester. The content and structure are similar to standard classes, but the lectures are in the form of recorded videos and interactive online recitations. The Department of Physics offers five online classes during the summer and winter breaks.
