PHYS 1050 Physics for Architects
Physics for Architects
A non-calculus course in classical physics stressing the fundamental physical laws and their application to architecture. Main topics include Newtonian mechanics with an emphasis on equilibrium applications, elasticity, fluids, and thermal processes. A weekly laboratory is included; the laboratory includes a review of techniques of problem solving, as well as experiments in classical physics. Credit not given for PHYS 1050 and PHYS 1210 or 1310. Does not count towards the B.S. Physics or B.S.E. Engineering Physics degrees.
