PHY7002 – Physics for the Health Sciences (Pre-Health)
What is this course all about?
As the fundamental science, physics underpins chemistry and biology. Through extensive use of algebra, students
apply critical thinking and problem-solving techniques to physics principles related to health science field. Concepts
studies include kinematics, forces, work, energy and power, thermodynamics, fluids and pressure, nuclear physics,
electrostatics, magnetism, waves and electromagnetic radiation. A minimum C grade in MAT7024 is required for
registration in this elective course.
