PHI 207: Physics in Biological Science I 4 Prerequisite: MAT 120. A study of rigid-body mechanics, gravitation, friction, elasticity, harmonic motion, sound, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and kinetic theory, with particular attention to living systems. Included in the course are computer modeling and simulation exercises. (Three hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory per week)
Prerequisites: PHY 211 and MAT 132. Equations of state, energy, enthalpy, and entropy of several fundamental physical systems; includes laws of thermodynamics applied to these systems and to common engines. Included in the course are computer modeling, simulation and programming exercises.
