An introductory course to familiarize the student with the best methods and procedure in performing calculations in Physics. Practice is given in the use of the slide rule, logarithms, mathematical and physical tables, construction of graphs and curves, co-ordinate and tabular ruled paper. Emphasis is placed upon the arrangement of work, efficiency of calculations and methods of attack. The question of precision is introduced through simple measurements and calculations and is emphasized throughout the work of the year. A set of problems has been compiled which aims to present the elementary principles of physics as basic to all engineering problems. The work of the second term continues this approach, with special emphasis upon the proper preparation of reports in Physics. All of this work is done under conditions which approximate the environment of the engineering computing office. Phys 2 and Phys 3. General Physics. The objective of the courses in General Physics is a knowledge of the fundamental laws of physical science, visualized as the foundation for later professional work. To this end, the courses are administered from the Engineering rather than the Scientific viewpoint. Phys 2. Elementary Mechanics--Linear and curvilinear motion; simple force system; energy and power; static forces in fluids; simple harmonic motion. The laboratory work which accompanies this course is entirely quantitative and is designed to aid, by physical demonstration the development of the concepts originated in the classroom. To this end, the laboratory experimental work follows as closely as possible after the classroom exercises so that the essential unity of the two may be impressed upon the student’s mind. An effort is made to develop the student’s capacity for sustained careful observation and deduction, and to initiate good practice in the matter of recording and reporting upon scientific and engineering data. Great stress is placed upon the precision of the results obtained in the laboratory. _Texts: “Physics”, edited by Duff; Entwisle, “Experiments in Mechanics”._ Phys 3 Heat, Electricity, Sound and Light.
