This course is designed specifically for engineering students to help them develop deeper understanding of general Physics problems and concepts, and build calculus-based problem-solving skills. Moreover, this course covers areas in classical mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and optics such as vectors, kinematics, dynamics, work, energy, power, impulse, momentum, dynamics of rotation, elasticity, oscillation, fluids, thermal expansion, thermal stress, heat transfer, calorimetry, waves, electrostatics, electricity, magnetism, optics, image formation by plane and curved mirrors, image formation by thin lenses and other related fields. Numerous examples and applications relating mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and optics to everyday situations will be used to illustrate physical principles. Finally, the unifying aspect of physical laws in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, and the basic simplicity of nature form the underlying theme of this course.
