Course Goals:
Physics 210 is a year long algebra-based course in college physics. The course emphasizes concepts of physics and problem solving skills.

Prerequisites:
Trigonometry is a prerequisite/corequisite for this course - students should be familiar with algebra and basic trigonometry (sines, cosines, tangents and simple identities). Some experience with vectors is useful, but basic vector concepts are developed in the class.
