This course is the first in the three-course sequence of introductory physics intended primarily for students of science and engineering. It is taught with the presumption that the student has a working knowledge of calculus, equivalent to Math 263A/B. The topics include:

• measurement
• motion in one, two, and three dimensions
• Newton's laws of motion
• conservation of energy
• systems of particles and conservation of momentum
• rotational dynamics
• angular momentum
• gravity
• static equilibrium
• elasticity

The course does not presume that you have already encountered these concepts.
