This an algebra-based introduction to physics for students in Life Sciences, Psychology, Arts and Environmental Sciences, Health Professions, and allied Health Sciences and for students preparing for MCAT, Medicine, and Dentistry. It is accepted as a prerequisite to advanced courses in physics when combined with PHYC 1320.03, MATH 1000.03, and MATH 1010.03. Basic concepts in mechanics, waves, sound, and fluids are applied, where possible, to realistic biological models, e.g., the biomechanics of muscles and joints. CALENDAR NOTES: This course is not acceptable for the Engineering program PREREQUISITES: High School Physics equivalent to the Nova Scotia 12 level is strongly recommended. Students not having this equivalence are strongly advised to take PHYC 0010.00. See the College of Continuing Education at: http://collegeofcontinuinged.dal.ca. EXCLUSIONS: Credit will be given for only one of PHYC 1190.03 or PHYC 1310.03. EXCLUSIONS: Credit will be given for only one of PHYC 1190.03 or PHYC 1310.03. FORMATS: Lecture | Lab | Tutorial
