Textbook Exam Questions

Course Introduction

Algebra-Based Physics is an introductory course designed to provide a fundamental understanding of classical physics concepts using algebraic methods, without requiring knowledge of calculus. The course covers core topics such as motion, forces, energy, momentum, waves, and basic principles of electricity and magnetism. Emphasis is placed on conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and the application of physics principles to real-world situations. Ideal for students pursuing health sciences, life sciences, and other non-engineering majors, this course lays a solid foundation for further studies in the physical sciences.
