Phys 0175 Homepage

Announcement: LRCD research team at the University of Pittsburgh is looking to recruit students to participate in our experiments on learning and problem solving in physics.

They are looking for research subjects that are between the ages of 18-64 and who are proficient in English and who have recently or are currently enrolled in an Introductory Physics course. Subjects will be paid $10 an hour for their participation. Students in the experiments will learn about topics from the typical Physics 1 courses (e.g., Rotational Kinematics, Conservation of Energy, among others).

Welcome to Physics 0175!

This homepage will be used for announcements for the class.

This section of Physics 0175 is modeled after the SCALE-UP project from NC State.

The textbook is Matter and Interactions.

This is calculus-based physics course for students majoring in science or engineering. This course covers electromagnetism.

We will use the fact that only a small number of fundamental principles underlie the behavior of matter and that using these principles models can be constructed to explain a wide variety of physical phenomena.

The variety of phenomena we will be able to explain and understand is very wide, from the orbit of a planet to the speed of sound in a solid.

This class will include hands-on, inquiry-based activities (labs, computer modeling, and analytical work) during the class period that allow you to uncover various aspects of a physics concept. A wide variety of activities and measurements will be interspersed with classroom discussion. The course will emphasize rigorous problem solving in physics using interactive instruction, educational software, computer applications important for science and engineering students, and cooperative learning.
